President Obama has an overall 81% presidential approval rating by Democrats and only 13% of Republicans. According to Gallup's points there is a 68-point gap in party ratings. It states that Obama is the fourth-most polarizing president in his second year of running since Dwight Eisenhower(1953). GW.Bush accounts for 6 of the 10 most polarized presidential years in Gallup history.. In Bush's fourth year in office (the year he was re-elected) there was an average of 76 point gap in approval ratings of him between Republicans and Democrats, and that's fairly close to Obama's average just being the second year! I decided to pick this article because we had homework dealing with surveying, and in that survey it asks us to get the public opinion on President Obama if they approve or disapprove; This article just so happened to be one of the headline articles on my homepage so i chose this because it shows stats on previous presidents ratings and it definitely relates to our assignment.
