Politico: Bush job approval rating higher than Obama's

George W. Bush’s job approval rating as president has spiked to 47 percent, according to a Gallup poll released Monday.

That’s one point higher than President Barack Obama’s job approval rating in a poll taken the same week.

This is the first time Gallup asked Americans to retrospectively rate Bush’s job performance. And it was a stunning turnaround from his low point of 25 percent in November 2008. The 47 percent number is 13 points higher than the last Gallup poll taken before Bush left office in 2009 and the highest rating for him since before Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

In fascinating that one of Bush's role models is Harry Truman.

That's because Bush hasn't been in a position to screw anything up in over 20 months and people have short memories.

Everyone's memories of things in the past get rosier as time goes on. This should not be a surprise.

kresspin, your gonna make the libs go nuts with this...if it ain't bush, its palin! Oh, your screwing with their heads, good call

"Miss me yet?"
The longer a guy has a job, the more enemies he makes. Once he loses that job, nostalgia starts to creep in.
Mike Shanahan is starting to look really good although he was only a .500 coach once Elway retired.
But I really don't like Obama's attitude about the economy, some Presidents would welcome the challenge of rebuilding the US economy but Obama just wants to blame Bush and work on other aspects of his agenda. Like the bad economy is messing with his plans.
