Conclusions should not be drawn from poll numbers. But if the recent Gallup Poll is any indication as to the thoughts of the United States electorate, the Obama administration had better pay attention.
The newest poll shows Obama's approval rating at 47%. According to the report on the Fox News website (yes, they even have a web page to compliment their illustrious news network), the most recent Gallup poll was conducted on December 4-6.
In the history of the Gallup Poll, which began in 1938, this is the lowest approval rating for any president after only 1 year in office. Here is the list of presidential approval ratings after 1 year in office:
-- Barack Obama, 47 percent
-- George W. Bush, 86 percent
-- Bill Clinton, 52 percent
-- George H.W. Bush, 71 percent
-- Ronald Reagan, 49 percent
-- Jimmy Carter, 57 percent
-- Gerald Ford, 52 percent
-- Richard Nixon, 59 percent
-- Lyndon Johnson, 74 percent
-- John Kennedy, 77 percent
-- Dwight Eisenhower, 69 percent
-- Harry Truman, 49 percent
