I’ll gladly take America and the Democratic party under Barack Obama’s leadership under the shrinking GOP run by a radio host. And America agrees.
In the survey, 68 percent have a favorable opinion of the president, including 47 percent whose opinion is ‘very positive’ — both all-time highs for Obama in the poll. Moreover, 67 percent say they feel more hopeful about his leadership and 60 percent approve of his job in the White House.
Yet the percentage of Americans who are confident that Obama has the right goals and policies for the country — 54 percent — is slightly smaller, suggesting that the president is more popular than his policies are. An example: 57 percent tend to support the stimulus, compared with 34 percent who tend to oppose it.
Still, these attitudes about Obama have helped fuel a big jump in the percentage of Americans who believe the U.S. is headed in the right direction, according to the poll. In January’s NBC/Journal poll, 26 percent said the country was on the right track; now 41 percent think that.
But, what about the parties? Surely the brilliant combination of Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, John Boehner and Rush Limbaugh is far ahead of Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid!
Just 26 percent view the Republican Party positively, which is an all-time low for the party. That’s compared with 49 percent who have a favorable view of the Democratic Party.
Well, I guess next week Fox News will have to go back to making him out to be a secret Muslim black separatist who likes to kill babies for sport.
So far…
only 96 floors to go!
Considering the GOP have been painting themselves as the party of Rush, I think Obama’s approval rating will be solid for a long time.
But I’m willing to listen to coherent arguments to the contrary.
[...] the business of getting our nation back on the right track and doing it with the support of the majority of the American people. Obama campaigned on this promise to cut taxes for 95% of Americans and last week he made that [...]
Wait…just wait. Strow you should listen to Rush you might learn something…or go drink more Obama flavored kool aid.
price: you should listen to Rush you might learn something
Oh, certainly. But it’s anything other than how to be a hypocrite, how to spread lies and false information, how to set up strawmen and attack them, or how to be a lying divisive liar then I’m at a loss to know just what you’d learn.
So far…
only 96 floors to go!
Anyone know what that means?

He did say coherent arguments.
