Is that period in 2001 after 9/11? I would bet it is. I think it is a little unfair to compare the popularity of a president that has been in office for 2 months to the president who was in office right after an attack on the country when most of the country was scared and angry and rallied behind him.

Also to say that there is a bitter divide in this country is nothing new. In 2000 the democrats were the ones that hated Bush because they felt he just stole the election. If you remember they had to clear the protesters from the streets so they could hold Bush's inauguration parade. The democrats were the minority and they were so angry they fought tooth an nail over most of the Bush's cabinet nominees.

Sure the republicans don't like him. Most of the republicans left in the house and senate are from the dark red states and they are very conservative christian types so the president represents is the polar opposite of what they believe. It is no big news that they don't see eye to eye.

One last thing is this quote from the article: "and the only two leaders with lower approval ratings than Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and John Boehner." Why are the republicans so unpopular? Well, I don't think Obama is to blame for that. I would guess that it has something to do with the actions of the republican party and who was their leader for the last 8 years?
