First 100 days: The grades are in
Posted: Tuesday, February 24, 2009 9:21 AM by Domenico Montanaro


According to the new Washington Post/ABC poll, “68 percent of poll respondents approve of Obama's job performance… Sixty-four percent said they approve of how Obama is handling appointments to the Cabinet and other top positions in the administration, despite tax problems and stumbles that have led to three of his top nominees withdrawing from consideration.”

More: “Although Obama has encountered near-unanimous GOP opposition to his stimulus plan in Congress and widespread criticism for a housing bailout plan that some say rewards people who have been fiscally irresponsible, 64 percent of those polled back the economic recovery package, and the same percentage support the mortgage proposal. The broad support for the recovery package comes as just 10 percent said the bill was too heavy on spending and too light on tax cuts, the primary contention of the Republican leadership in Congress. Overall, 60 percent of poll respondents approve of how Obama is dealing with the economy.”

The New York Times on its latest NYT/CBS poll: “The aura of good will surrounding Mr. Obama at this stage of his presidency is similar to the one that benefited Ronald Reagan as he led the nation out of economic gloom. With a job approval rating of 63 percent, Mr. Obama is in a strong position to sell his economic policies. Yet the poll also captured skepticism about how effective his plans will prove to be in addressing the deep recession, as well as a strain of populism that could test his ability to retain public support for efforts to prop up key sectors of the economy.”

This is also good news down the road for Obama: “Americans are under no illusions that the country’s problems will be resolved quickly, but the poll suggested that they will be patient when it comes to the economy, with most saying it would be years before significant improvement.”

1. They figure since they couldn't effect the Prez' polls numbers indirectly,

they'll try it by attacking his poll numbers directly.
General Electric should pay them overtime! :eyes:

3. I thought maybe they were being subconsciously thankful for President Obama and thus counting

the days since last Thanksgiving 11/27, but even that doesn't add up.:shrug:

I guess it comes as no surprise they could never figure out that Bush's B.S. claim of "fuzzy math" was...B.S.
