That didn't take long.
Interesting Times — That didn't take long. Gallup, not wasting any time, already has a daily tracking poll on Obama's favorability (I assume they will start a job performance one on Jan. 20th). I see it has already cratered from his high of 62 on Nov. 2nd to his lowest ever of 60 on Nov 4th. posted by Chris Andersen at ...

FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right — ... Indeed, with essentially three full days of interviewing having been conducted after Blagojevich's arrest on on Tuesday morning, Obama's approval ratings remain pristine. Gallup shows that 72 percent of the public has a favorable view of Obama, and 18 percent an unfavorable view. The 72 percent favorability rating matches the 72 percent score that Obama achieved on November 7th-9th for the highest since the election, whereas the 18 percent disapproval rating is Obama's lowest yet. Three days ago, before Blagojevich's arrest, those ratings were 70 percent and 21 percent, ...
