Obama approval hits 60 percent

[AK Forty Seven]

Quote from Artful D0dger:

I really don't care about it unless it concerns an election, which "approval rating" does not.

Do you have any idea what an idiotic statement that is ?

After the first Gulf War in 1991, President George H.W. Bush's approval rating was a record-setting 88%. He then lost the next election. Why? Because unemployment was up, gas prices were up and housing prices were falling. In less than 18 months President G.H.W Bush's approval rating collapsed to 37%.

If the economy is strong at the next election, Obama will be re-elected. If not, he will lose.

Bush had Ross Perot and an extremely charismatic democratic challenger.

Unless a left leaning credible candidate runs 3rd party and the GOP finds a candidate like Bill Clinton I don't think the comparisons are similar

There's nothing idiotic about it. Obama's approval ratings now will be irrelevant during the election, and will be relevant to the approval of other candidates.

The sinking economy made Ross Perot's candidacy possible. The bad economy was all Perot talked about. If the economy had been strong, Perot would not have run and the election outcome would have been different -- G.H.W. Bush would have been easily re-elected.
