This narrative out there that the American Public is so in love with Obama is a media spin. He is no more popular a month in than Bush was after the nasty 2000 election.

Gallup Poll February 27th 2001

Bush's Job Approval, Favorability Ratings are RobustOne asset Bush carries into the speech tonight is the general good will he enjoys from the American people. The most recent Gallup Poll, conducted February 19-21, finds that 67% of Americans hold a favorable view of the new president, and that his job approval rating is 62%, up from the 57% found in two Gallup polls of early to mid-February. The 62% is above the overall average for job approval for all presidents Gallup has measured since World War II. It is also higher than Clinton's and Reagan's first February job approval ratings, and about equal to the ratings for Bush's father, George H.W. Bush, and for Richard Nixon. Only Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy, and Dwight Eisenhower had higher job approval ratings at this stage of their presidencies.
