I'm not sure it's entirely appropriate to judge a president purely based upon their approval ratings, especially in the first 100 days. The article describes it as the "honeymoon effect" wearing off, and seems to assert that polls - many of them biased - are a good measure of judgment for a new president. It's factual about the polls, but not very deep or quality writing, overall.

Quality journalism should present the facts in a straightforward manner, and that is what this article does. It gives links to back up its facts, and made a list of what promises Obama has kept so far. It's factual, efficient, and can be trusted.

This story really goes into detail about the issues at hand and exactly what Obama plans to do. It also lists some of the faults in his plans that one may take an issue with, such as increasing the already outrageous national debt. It reads very factually, and it gives Obama criticism. It's somewhat fair, describing what Obama has fallen short on, but doesn't take into account the 100 day yardstick that he must be measured by and the great burden he has adopted.

This story takes into account a great number of things, such as how Obama has taken on an economic crisis and two wars. It evaluates how he will do based on this burden and factually reports what he has done so far. It doesn't outright praise him, but it does lean in his favor by describing exactly what he has to deal with. I feel the article is well-rounded and shows quite a bit of depth to Obama's situation.
