Do you consider the first six months of the Obama administration to be a success or a failure?The results: 51% consider the Obama administration to be a success, 37% consider it a failure.
Compare these results with those for the Bush administration (asked at the same point - August, 2001) where 56% considered it a success and 32% considered it to be failure.
Notes:
1. These ratings for the Bush administration were taken before the tragic events of September 11 which caused approval for the Bush administration to rise.
2. CNN tends to be more favorable to Democrats than Republicans.
3. Hat tips to Matt Drudge and RealClearPolitics for the links to CNN.
