Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

  On this chart from Pollster.com, the dark red line represents Ronald Reagan, and the dark blue line represents Barack Obama.

The difference is, Reagan enacted business-friendly policies, that grew the economy. B. Hussein Obama’s policies are hindering business growth, and will only make any recovery weaker, and longer in coming.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 27% of the nation’s voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-two percent (42%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -15. This is the lowest Approval Index rating yet measured for President Obama[.]
And, as always, independents are the key:
Fifty-two percent (52%) of Democrats Strongly Approve while 68% of Republicans Strongly Disapprove. Among those not affiliated with either major political party, just 16% Strongly Approve and 51% Strongly Disapprove[.]

Snuss and Richard: Unable to disprove what the chart says (that Obama’s Gallup numbers are pretty much on track with Reagan’s at the same point in their presidencies), you two come up with all kinds of crap.
Notice, too, that the chart shows how Reagan’s approval rating continued to sink during the second year of his presidency.
