theforce427 Level 12, Guru (H$26,053)

3/10/09---60.3% Approval
4/10/09---60.3% Approval

In between the two it's dropped as low as 60.2% and has gotten as high as 61.5%. Unless some disaster occurs, his approval rating will stay pretty consistent for the next 20 days at least.

Gallup just need to go to 66 or a new poll (CNN/ CBS is needed).

At the moment there are only 5 grey polls.

His TV appearance next week might give him 1 point at Gallup and or Rasmussen (like the two times before).
