Eighty-two percent of those questioned in a new CNN/Opinion
Research Corporation poll released Wednesday morning approve of the way
the Obama is handling his presidential transition. That's up 3 points
from when we asked this question at the beginning of December. Fifteen
percent of those surveyed disapprove of the way Obama's handling his
transition, down 3 points from our last poll.

The 82 percent approval is higher than then President-elect George
W. Bush 8 years ago, who had a 65 percent transition approval rating,
and Bill Clinton, at 67 percent in 1992.

"Barack Obama is having a better honeymoon with the American public
than any incoming president in the past three decades. He's putting up
better numbers, usually by double digits, than Bill Clinton, Ronald
Reagan, or either George Bush on every item traditionally measured in
transition polls," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.


BFD, means nothing. Between the media's sloppy love affair and the
knowledge that any negative response will be responded to with shouts
of racism and foul language, who you gonna' trust?



The grapes of right-wing wrath are exceedingly sour.
