FROM FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY: See, I am prescient. Unfortunately, the image has succumbed somewhat to link rot (the blue line is barely visible), but since 2009, the Obama Approval Index has steadily declined from -10 to -20 today and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has climbed from 9500 in August 2009 to 17000 today.

So roughly speaking, in 5 years Obama's popularity has halved and the DJIA has doubled.

Heh.
