I just read that Gallup Poll has shown a 50% approval rating for President Obama at this time. The poll showed that 80% of Democrats thought he was doing a good job and 47% of "independents" also approved of the President's performance.

Going back to George W. Bush's Gallup Poll approval rating after the same length of time in office, you will find his Gallup Poll approval rating was 37%.

It will be very interesting to see in which direction that Speaker Boner will take Congress - if it will be one of bipartisanship or one of antagonism. We need bi-partisanship to move the country ahead. Now that Nancy Pelosi is not in charge, let's hope for a Congress that we can be proud of and that means both parties have to work together.
