It would be interesting to see data from other polls, to get an average of all polls put together. This would be along the lines of http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html . Note how the data from Rasmussen Reports is significantly lower then the other polls. These graphs are great, but it only uses data from one poll (Gallup).

The president has no real control over Congress, and diplomats/generals are often inherited (as are the problems they were dealing with, often from decades prior). Yet the American Idol citizenry lays it all at the foot of the president to solve. We need more civic education as well as participatoin.

Approval rating is interesting, but really only tracks a president's charisma and ability to speak to the public. President's are popular during wars because they have a clear enemy. People naturally feel disposed towards a president when the alternative seems to be whatever we are fighting.
