Obama's 48% approval rating surpasses Dubya's 46%, for the same time in their term

how's that "one term president" spin working out for y'all?

Today's Gallup approval number for Barack Obama is 48%, covering May
7-9. Meanwhile, a Gallup's May 7-9, 2004 poll had George W. Bush
dropping to 46%. This is the first time that Obama has been ahead of
Bush at the same stage of their terms since September of their first
year, when of course Bush had the all-time record rally event. I wrote
about that this was about to happen last week, but it finally did
happen today, so I figure I might as well make a post of it.

Now, the 46% was probably a bit phony; it was the lowest sounding all
year, and he would soon improve up to 47% in the next poll, taken May
21-23. On the other hand, Obama has certainly -- for now -- at least
caught Bush, who would stay in that high 40s/low 50s range up until
election day. That's almost exactly where Obama has been since mid-
April, with a low of 46% approval and a high of 51%.
