President Barack Obama indicates the size of his public support.
A new
Gallup Poll shows that President Barack Obama's approval rating for his second year holds the most polarized percentage between the two parties, beating out Ronald Reagan by a full 12% and George W. Bush by 24%.
Take a look at this Gallup chart for a comparison. (Click on the photo to make it larger.)
Also telling is Obama's ratings compared with all time record holder George W. Bush.
The second chart, besides indicating that Barack Obama is not a great president, also shows that party politics has become quite divisive over the past ten years than ever before. This indicates a clear reason why independent America now outnumbers either party. Considering Obama's Bush-like policies of deficit spending and of continuing war in the Mideast, and considering that no one believes that he has the ability to change into Clinton mode, it looks as though his divisiveness among the parties can only widen.
