“Polarizing”

A new PEW Research poll is out showing that President Obama is more “polarizing” than any other President.
The poll finds that Obama has very high approval from Democrats, 88 percent, and very low approval from Republicans, 27 percent.
The 61-point partisan gap eclipses George W. Bush’s 51-point gap in his first year, and that was after the long recount and simmering charges from Democrats that Bush stole the 2000 election.
And what serious problems did George Bush deal with at this point in his presidency – using a driver or an iron? President Obama has had to deal with one of the worse economic times in our history, and still remains highly popular. And so what if Republicans aren’t happy. THEY LOST. They have seen the biggest decline of numbers of any party in our nation’s history, and it isn’t looking any better for them. The Republican Party is insignificant.
Of course we can expect the talking heads to paint this poll as proof of major failure for Obama.
