But the Republicans' approval ratings have dropped even further.
Cite: 26% approval rating for Republicans, versus 68% for Obama
Guess we needed some balance in the debate over Obama's falling approval ratings.
Oh, and 84% of respondents believe the economic crisis was inherited from Bush and the Republicans, with at about 66% saying Obama won't be blamed unless the economy is fixed much later in his term (i.e. most voters are giving him anywhere from one to four years to fix things).
Even more people are happy with Obama
(Note: The Wall Street Journal isn't known for its liberal bias, is it? Well, I guess it soon will be...)

I always like Real Clear Politics! Since iam...liked it so much when McCain was in the lead! But, when Obama started blowing him away Real Clear became real gone as far as he was concerned! 
Obama's Approval Rating is through the top!
Anything else republicans!

leftie, your poll actually shows Obama is worse off than mine does. 
And it was "vinny." Not "iam." Absolutely no relation between the two, even though they both posted the same way...

From the already mentioned Wall Street Journal article:
He (Obama) is more popular than ever, Americans are hopeful about his leadership, and opposition Republicans are getting drubbed in public opinion, the new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll suggests.

But how have the "Wall Street" stock markets been lately?

The 'poll' that I follow is the stock market. We, who follow such things, have noted that :
1. The stock market is forward thinking. (six months to a year ahead)
2. We have known since about a month before the election that Obama would be
elected.
3. The stock market has fallen precipitously since the election. All but a slight
rebound just before the inauguration.
Two thirds of Americans are invested in the stock market.
Thus, we must conclude that the people who are informed have no confidence in Obama as an economic, diplomatic, military or social leader.

Thanks for the poll, Lefty!
It clearly shows that Obama's approval rating is plummeting, and perhaps even more importantly, that Americans feel that the country is being led in the wrong direction.
It will be interesting to see how his exploitation of the current financial crisis to enable his socialist ideals "flies". I have a feeling that it will also plummet.

Two thirds of Americans are invested in the stock market.
Thus, we must conclude that the people who are informed have no confidence in Obama as an economic, diplomatic, military or social leader. Very misleading. You make several (unspoken) conclusions here, based on misconceptions.
First, two-thirds of Americans are NOT invested in the stock market. Optimistically, it may be as much as 60%, but that is highly doubtful. In 2002, still less than 50% of the people in this country owned stock. Despite the boom of the later-middle part of the decade, it is very unlikely enough more people got into the market to reach the 66% level. More Americans Invest
Secondly, many people who are invested in the market are invested through investor groups that handle retirement or investment funds, and they do not make their own stock decisions. So the number of people making decisions about which stocks to sell or buy in the market is a vastly smaller number than two-thirds.
Hell, skip the rest. These same investors who are now making decisions are not substantially different than the investors who were making decisions 17 months ago when the Dow was at it's historic record high in October 2007, only a year before the elections. The people who were "informed" and looking "six months ahead" got out then. While the economy was circling the drain, the adminstration and many conservatives kept pointing to the rising market as the best sign that the economy was fundamentally sound. They were wrong about that, and they are wrong in pointing to the declining market as the leading indicator that the economy can't recover.
The current state of the stock market does reflect lack of investor confidence, but not in Obama, but the market. It reflects the profiteers who are sayig "Hey, if my profits from the market (capital gains) are going to be taxed at 28% instead of the 15% I'm paying now, I'm going to look elsewhere to make my profits! " It reflects the people who are saying "Who cares if everybody in the country is spending $20 a week more, when they're not going to be buying stock with that money!"

Ms Angel posted this link;

Except from that post:
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Tuesday, March 10, 2009 Email to a FriendAdvertisement
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 38% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. With just a few exceptions, that number has remained steady on a daily basis between 38% and 42% since Inauguration Day.
Thirty-two percent (32%) now Strongly Disapprove of the President’s performance, the highest level of disapproval measured to date. The rising negative is driven by Republicans, 56% of whom Strongly Disapprove of Obama’s performance. Since Inauguration Day, Republican opposition has doubled.
These figures give Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of +6, his lowest rating to date (see trends). The Presidential Approval Index is calculated by subtracting the number who Strongly Disapprove from the number who Strongly Approve. It is updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update). Updates also available on Twitter.
Overall, 56% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of the President’s performance so far while 43% disapprove. Those figures have remain unchanged for four straight days.
Very interesting and quite different from what we see being posted 
Thank you Ms.Angel   for your link and research  It simply debunks the typical rhetoric we have come to be entertained with by the left... 
It's perspicuous the HO-Bots (Hussein Obama) robots, are panicing over the drop of The Messiahs approval ratings so soon into office.  Ironically The Great One has done this to him self. When in the early stages of the BarakOlyptic rule. Mother would be proud of the Abomination of the Obamanation.  The Hypocrisy of His Democracy in it's finest hour..
