Forget presidential and congressional approval polls. The left-leaning Public Policy Polling has finally asked the big question: "If God exists, do you approve or disapprove of its performance?" Some 52% approve of the job God is doing; 9% disapprove; and 40% are unsure, reports the Atlantic Wire. By comparison, John Boehner and both congressional Republicans and Democrats all got 33% approval ratings—with Rupert Murdoch getting a dismal 12%. Obama's approval rating was not measured.

God scored top marks for creating the universe, with 71% giving that job the thumbs up; 56% approve of God's "handling of animals." Perhaps surprisingly, 50% approved of the way God handles natural disasters. (More polling stories.)
