		<description>Chris, your consistent honesty wins you &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.osborneink.com/2009/09/osborne-ink-wins-honest-weblog-award.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;an honest weblog award&lt;/a&gt;.

Chris, I think you need to break down Obama&#039;s poll numbers with independents and progressives to get the full picture. Obama&#039;s lost support in the left due to uncertainty about the success of health care reform. I think they explain a lot of the softening. This was the central debate at Netroots Nation and it&#039;s the source of all the oh noes at HuffPo.</description>

		<description>I would think that Bush&#039;s FIRST term would be the better comparison to Obama&#039;s first term.

In Bush&#039;s first term at the corresponding date, there hadn&#039;t been any &quot;catastrophes&quot; (9/11, Katrina, etc etc) to skew the numbers.

Correspondingly, Obama&#039;s first term, to date, is also free of any external skewing..   I say &quot;external&quot; because, while it can be argued that DunselCare is a catastrophe, it is a catastrophe of Obama&#039;s own making.

Consequently, it can be logically and rationally argued that Obama&#039;s approval numbers in the here and now are no better than Bush&#039;s approval numbers at the same point in time of his first term, pre-9/11.  And Obama&#039;s DISAPPROVAL numbers are actually higher than Bush&#039;s..

I tell ya, THAT&#039;S gotta hit the Left where it hurts, eh?   :D
