So much for "uniting the country," eh?
Partisan Gap in Obama Job Approval Widest in Modern Era
April 2, 2009
For all of his hopes about bipartisanship, Barack Obama has the most polarized early job approval ratings of any president in the past four decades. The 61-point partisan gap in opinions about Obama's job performance is the result of a combination of high Democratic ratings for the president -- 88% job approval among Democrats -- and relatively low approval ratings among Republicans (27%).
By comparison, there was a somewhat smaller 51-point partisan gap in views of George W. Bush's job performance in April 2001, a few months into his first term. At that time, Republican enthusiasm for Bush was comparable to how Democrats feel about Obama today, but there was substantially less criticism from members of the opposition party. Among Democrats, 36% approved of Bush's job performance in April 2001; that compares with a 27% job approval rating for Obama among Republicans today.
That's all I'm going to post, as the story is only four paragraphs long. The rest is at:

The Obot BIL of mine was blathering over and over during the campaign about how the Obamessiah was "going to unite the country." :lmao: :rotf: I asked him about that about a month ago, and he didn't want to talk about that at all. :loser:

What happened to the missing 12 percent?
Haven't we been told, repeatedly, that ALL democrats love "the messiah"?

Let's ignore that some of this support on the left is from some of the same voters that only voted for 0Bama because he is black. Their support wouldn't end even if he served roast babies at a state dinner.

I suspect that most of the 88% of the approving Dems are dead or double counted.

It shares a correlation to the gap between L'il 'O's ears.

Isn't Chicago infamous for counting dead people when votes and the census are counted?
