With President Barack Obama preparing to give a speech tonight from the Oval Office announcing the end of the U.S. combat mission in Iraq, recently released polling data from Gallup indicates that the Iraqi people approved of the job performance of the American leadership more under President George W. Bush, who invaded their country and overthrew the dictatorial regime of Saddam Hussein, than they do under Obama, who opposed the invasion of Iraq and has repeatedly vowed to have all U.S. troop out of that country by the end of 2011. From March 5 to June 14, 2008, when Bush was still in office, Gallup asked 1,000 Iraqi adults this question: "Do you approve or disapprove of the job performance of the leadership of the United States of America?" Thirty-five percent of Iraqis at that time said they approved of the job performance of the American leadership. More than a year later, from Aug. 10-20, 2009, when President Obama had been in office for seven months, Gallup asked the question again. This time, only 33 percent of Iraqis said they approved of the job performance of the American leadership. In a new polling analysis released last week, Gallup issued numbers from another survey it had conducted in Iraq from Feb. 17-27, 2010. In that survey, Gallup again asked Iraqis if they approved or disapproved of the job performance of the leadership of the United States. This time, only 30 percent said they approved of the job the American leadership was doing. From the spring of 2008 (when President Bush was serving his last year in office) to early 2010 (when President Obama was beginning his second year) approval of U.S. leadership among Iraqis dropped by 5 points.

You know, I remember gallup before it sold it's soul. The slippery slide to hell.
It appears you are well on your way, slick! So when does the GOM evacuation commence, mcclown?
That's nice. Maybe Bush can run for president of Iraq

That might be because more Americans were getting killed in Iraq under Bush.
