BHO in Australia

[jnevis]

now I also heard someone say that it might not happen then as well  as it was the mid terms around then   and with how popular he is..  wonder if he will come over then as well

I just looked up the Rasmussen Poll of Presidential Popularity and I'm impressed.  It only took BHO six months to cross over from "Strongly agree" to Strongly disagree" that he's doing a good job.

A different site shows he started out around 70% approval and has hovered aroundn 50% since July.  

In comparison W started out at 60%, shot up Sep 11 (Duh), and didn't drop to 50% for almost two years.  

Slick Willy STARTED around 55% and went DOWN with a few spikes above 50% but primarily in the 40s until Jan 96, then actually stayed around the 60% mark for the remainder of his term.

Reagan appeared polarizing, swinging braodly between 35-70% over the course of his Presidency.  

I didn't add it to the chart below, but Papa Bush stayed well above 60% until late 91, except for a couple months just prior to the start of Gul War 1.  
Ford didn't come ABOVE 50% for almost his entire Presidency.
