Obama approval nine months in

Nine months into his term, I thought I’d take another look at Obama’s ratings compared to other US Presidents. Gallup has polling data back to WWII. At Day 270 the approval ratings were:

1. George W Bush 89% (post 9/11)
2. John Kennedy 77%
3. Lyndon Johnson 74%
4. George H W Bush 68%
5. Dwight Eisenhower 65%
6. Harry Truman 63%
7. Ronald Reagan 56%
8. Richard Nixon 56%
9. Jimmy Carter 54%
10. Barack Obama 50%
11. Bill Clinton 47%
12. Gerald Ford 40%

Clinton of course won a second term, but Carter did not. Clinton abandoned healthcare reform and moved to the centre. Will Obama?
