Obama Approval Stays Sky High

The latest Hotline/Diageo poll shows President Obama's favorability
ratings remain high, with more than two-thirds of voters (68%)
expressing a favorable opinion of him. In addition, 70% believe that he
will be able to bring "real change" to the way things are done in
Washington.

Additionally, voters are encouraged by the group of economic advisers
surrounding him, with 64% expressing confidence in the team Obama
brought into the White House.

A new Fox News poll shows Obama's approval rating at 63%.

Uh oh...Faux News isn't jiggling the numbers enough... :)


The latest Hotline/Diageo poll shows:

Overall, Voters Support Obama's Economic Plans, But Those Following Them
"Very Closely" Have Doubts






Well, of course. Uncharted territory. Obama is trying lots of different
things and like most of us, hope some of them work properly. We've given
up entirely on Republican drip down.

I don't think Obama has gone nearly far enough, but I understand his
political need to not slam to the mat the bankers, stockbrokers, corporate
execs, and other perpetrators of massive-scale financial fraud.

I think the FDIC should move in right now and close a half-dozen major
national banks, such as Citibank and Bank of America, get rid of ALL the
management, and sell the assets off to groups who might have some idea of
how to run a bank in a way that protects depositors, makes the right sorts
of loans, and stays out of speculative markets. Sort of like the small
local bank I use.


Government has caused BofA problems. They were the ones who forced them to
buy MerrillLynch. And that is the source of their problems.
