The guy's been in the White House since Tuesday and we're already polling his approval ratings? As far as I'm concerned, Tuesday doesn't really count because all he did was get sworn in, walk in a parade and go to lots of fancy parties. Excuse me. Balls. So really, how many days are we looking at? 3 full days? Wednesday, Thursday & Friday??? What time on Friday was the poll conducted? The reason I'm asking is because if it was Friday morning and then they had to compile the information and post poll results by Friday afternoon, techincally that shouldn't be considered a full day either. Sheesh. How come nobody called me? I'd gladly give them my opinion.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A new poll reports about a two-thirds approval rating of Barack Obama’s first days as president.
The Gallup Organization on Saturday said 68 percent of Americans approve of Obama’s first three full days as the nation’s chiefexecutive. That’s a number near the high end for new presidents, but short of President John F. Kennedy’s 72 percent in 1961.
Gallup’s poll found that 12 percent in the survey disapprove of Obama’s job performance. That number is typical of all presidents. The telephone interviews of 1,591 adults were conducted Wednesday to Friday. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.
