WASHINGTON (CNN) – Six in ten Americans continue to approve of how Barack Obama is handling his job as president — and despite the controversy over Obama's appearance at Notre Dame on Sunday, Catholics have a high opinion of him, according to a new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll.

...

The results from U.S. Catholics are virtually identical to the rest of the population. Sixty-one percent say the president's abortion views don't have any impact on their view of him. Twenty-two percent say it makes them feel less favorably toward him, and 15 percent say it makes them feel more favorably.

1. Hurt him? That was one of the best Presidential speeches ever

bold, concise and fair.

3. Agreed.

It's hard to imagine any level-headed person taking issue with his words yesterday.

2. Not "despite" -- because of. Obama, in the most civilized and statesmanlike ways possible . . .

Proved his humanity and wisdom while holding up their snarling barbarism for what it is. It was a masterful performance.

4. Of course not

the majority of Americans, regardless of their views on abortion, would prefer to keep it legal.

5. Obama handled that with sheer eloquence....

...and most importantly, with an IDEA of what to do instead of just throwing hands up and saying...we just cant agree! LOVE that he is the President! :woohoo:
