Good News for Obama and Democrats, Bad Tidings for RepublicansApril 24, 2009 6:29 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)
Since the latest 100-day approval rating poll on Barack Obama is about the same as all the rest this week,
we'll start with Congress where voters approve of the job congressional Democrats are doing by 50 percent to 40 percent and disapprove of Republicans on the Hill by 52 percent to 36 percent, according to a Fox News/Opinion Dynamics poll conducted April 22-23.
Forty-six percent of voters say that they'd back a Democrat for Congress in 2010 to help Obama pass his programs while 33 percent would vote Republican to put a check on his power. Seventeen percent say it's too soon to make that decision.
So, now to
Obama. Voters
approve of the job he is doing by
62 percent to 29 percent with 8 percent undecided,
a net gain of seven points since late March. Like a Gallup poll published today,
Fox found that most people (56 percent) say Obama is meeting their expectations, with 26 percent saying he has exceeded them, and 16 percent rating him worse than expected. Asked if the 2012 election were held today if they would vote for Obama or someone else, 52 percent said they'd back Obama while 31 percent would choose someone else.Change was the big theme of the 2008 campaign and, now that Obama is in office,
51 percent said he has brought real change while 40 percent say it's just more of the same. http://blogs.cqpolitics.com/polltracker/2009/04/good-news-for-obama-and-democr.html I love that those horrible numbers for Republicans come from a Fox poll. I don't believe those were the numbers they were looking for.
