What will be the result of Gallup's Presidential Favorability polls on Monday?

Settled as Obama +35 to +39

Obama 66
Bush 29
Difference: 37

Background:

And here I thought the days of Gallup polling were over.. how foolish of me. Now instead of two presidential candidates to track, we have two presidents!

One would think that this holiday week would be fairly quiet, but Obama has started the week out with some major economic news which is sure to effect the polling. Bush should get plenty of good press this week as he does his presidential duties during the holidays.. Of course another major economic meltdown, might tank both approval numbers.

Settlement based on: Obama Confidence (Confident percentage) - Bush Job Approval (Approve)
Note: Results are based on 3 day rolling averages, so polls released on Monday afternoon are based on calls made Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.



Settlement details: Results are released ~1300 EST Monday afternoon.

Settlement based on: Obama Confidence(Confident percentage) - Bush Job Approval (Approve)

he's polling 10-15 points higher than he got on election day (roughly 53%) and hasn't made one decision as president yet...hmmm. gallop was off by roughly 7% so that puts him close to what his poll numbers proablly are. just my humble opinon and faulty math.
