The only difference is that he's campaigning hard to have it past while President Clinton wasn't has affected when he pushed for health care reformed.

Clinton's approval numbers at this point were pathetic, but he still kicked ass in 1996, and remains popular despite impeachment and doing an intern. The only number that really sticks out is that Obama's been polled 88 times. The rest of them had 44 polls combined. That's a big jump. This doesn’t mean much.

Even with Nixon, Slightly ahead of Reagan and slightly behind Carter and quite a bit ahead of Clinton and Bush. Color me confused as to what that all means.. I think it would be overly simplistic to assume his net loss is a net GOP gain. I think there are a lot like me who thinks the drink they ordered is getting less of the substance they ordered and a lot more mixer. He needs to control the message better and get his spine back. The lack of a spine is a big reason that the backing of the Democratic Party is so lukewarm. At least the GOP when in power is willing to push their agenda. So- Way behind Ike and JFK.
