68% and only 3 days on the job. Kinda like giving a highschool student a passing grade just because he/she can spell his/her name correctly.

The Gallup Poll on Saturday released the first job-approval rating for President Obama, based on interviews during his first three full days in office: 68 percent.
Now that he's in office, Obama's approval ratings are starting to normalize, as partisan back-and-forth picks up. Just a week ago, Gallup found an astonishing 83 percent approval of how he has handled his transition, showing he had even won over most Republicans.
The new job-approval figure puts him at the upper end of opening poll numbers for presidents, but doesn't set a record.

Must have been a conservative who rated him, because if u listen to liberals he is the messiah and can do NO wrong.....and 68% is pretty low for someone so perfect.
