CNN had Bush at 46% approval in May 2005.
So Obama is actually MORE popular than Chimpface was at this point in their presidencies despite the GOP's bullshit, manufactured scandals.

(CNN) -- President Bush's job approval rating dropped to near its lowest point and Congress received poor marks as well in a national poll released Monday.
Forty-six percent of 1,006 adults polled over the weekend said they approved of the overall job Bush is doing, according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll.
Over the past year, Bush's rating has hovered near 50 percent, with a low of 45 percent in March and a high of 57 percent just after his second inauguration and the State of the Union in February.
The 46 percent figure is down about 4 percentage points since a poll taken at the beginning of May.
