O'WHO?:
Assessing Obama’s Job Approval at the One-Month Mark (Lydia Saad, 2/23/09, Gallup)
President Barack Obama remains highly popular among the U.S. public at the end of his first month in office. However, the 63% of Americans currently approving of his job performance is down slightly from his initial 68% rating in January. The percentage disapproving has doubled, from 12% to 24%.Increased public disapproval of Obama over the past month is mainly offset by a decrease in the percentage of Americans saying they have no opinion of his job performance.
The latter can certainly be forgiven for not even knowing there's a new president. Posted by Orrin Judd at February 24, 2009 8:21 AM
