Gallup: Confidence in Obama 'remarkably consistent;' now at 65%

[wyldwolf]

Three weeks after his election as president, the public's confidence in Barack Obama remains "remarkably consistent" and "doesn't yet appear to be have been affected, positively or negatively, by news coverage of the president-elect's staff and Cabinet appointments, or by reports of his economic and other policy plans," Gallup reports this morning.

The polling firm's daily tracking poll now shows 65% of those surveyed say they're confident in the Democratic president-elect's ability to be a good president. The figure has stayed between 63% and 67% since Election Day. Margin of error: +/- 3 percentage points.

1. Does this mean that DU has once again failed to mirror reality?

:hide:

[bunnies]

5. No. See....

More Republicans like Obama now because he moved so far to the right - so they make up for all that Liberal support he's losing.

:rofl: :rofl:

2. This is funny shit. TWO WEEKS after being elected, several weeks before being sworn in...

I think he's underperforming, hasn't recieved the Nobel peace prize yet.

6. Where did the pony meme start, anyhoo?

I know where the pie thing started, but that's about it.

9. It was a "joke" by the anti-Obama folks, some of whom, alas, are not with us anymore...

I think it was about getting our hopes up for something that would never happen....

Aand, in a couple of cases it referred to promises made by Obama, and the likelyhood that they would actually come to fruition.....


It was used as an insult for a long time, then the Obamamaniacs took it as their own.....

7. I was counting on having my magic pony by Thanksgiving.

[cliffordu]

10. Should be delivered tomorrow.....

[yardwork]

12. Sure, yeah, I've heard that for weeks....

[cliffordu]

13. We've had some trouble with the delivery of the bailout money and, of course,

all that had to go out first.

Keep the faith though, ponies are on the way!!

[yardwork]

14. I understand that corporations are more important than people.

But I want my magic pony, dammit. It was promised to me and I want it delivered NOW!

8. Maybe AL G can loan him his! n/t

11. Hate to say it, but as long as that stays constant, the pressure from the Right...

will far eclipse any pressure from the Left.

If the Left in FDR's day was as anemic as today, the New Deal would have never happened.
