New Poll: President-Elect Obama with highest approval rating of any president-elect ever (82%)

[Politics_Guy25]

From:

More than eight in 10, or 82 percent, of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Wednesday approve of the way Obama is handling his presidential transition.

That approval is up 3 percentage points from when CNN asked the same question at the beginning of December. Fifteen percent of those surveyed disapprove of the way the president-elect is handling his transition, down 3 points from the last poll.

Sweet.

1. Watch this thread drop like a rock. n/t

[Tarheel_Dem]

3. It might drop, but only because it's already been posted. But, what the hell,

I'll give it a kick, 'cause I just like looking at it.

[DerekJ]

5. No, it will drop because it lacks controversy and drama.

[Tarheel_Dem]

9. You must have missed this thread. This is DU, we can find controversy

and drama, anywhere. :rofl:

29. Maybe we can tie this thread to a negative Warren post somehow? That'll keep it alive. nt

6. Kicked and Recommended.

And in these dismay economic and environmental days, it's all the more significant.

:fistbump:

14. I agree.

[progressoid]

7. Bush was 65% . Clinton 67%

:wow:

[tandot]

8. This deserves a big K & R

Only 15% disapprove??? The freeper-base has really shrunk down this low??? I guess there is hope.

[Enthusiast]

21. This will change once

the fair and balanced media and talk radio has a chance to work on it. They are already beating this Blogojevich thing to death.

10. It's Not Like He Has A Tough Act To Follow...

I have no idea of whether he's doing a good job -the proof of the pudding will be in the eating. But it must be said that given Bush as the baseline, if the guy from Jackass had been elected president he would easily break 50% simply by stapling his butt-cheeks together.

11. Amazing numbers.

Even some hard core Repubs have given in.

[mikiturner]

12. I'm concerned that Obama can't close the deal

:rofl:

[Honeycombe8]

28. LOL! LOL! (maybe they only THINK the poll #s are good; maybe because he's black....

the people REALLY are hiding a negative viewpoint of him, but are afraid to tell the pollster that, so we should automatically lop about 20% off the top, for the Bradley Effect.

[Undercurrent]

13. Excellent!

Our new President will need the support of the American people to do what needs to be done in the coming years.

[Tiggeroshii]

15. Kick

[Joe the Liberal]

16. Niiiiiiiice.....

Lets hope he can keep it high for a few years.

[earthlover]

17. this would mean Obama has higher marks among the general public than on DU!

[Blarch]

23. LOL.

General public ='s rational thought

DU ='s loony left

[lamp_shade]

18. Great stuff.

[Window]

19. Well, alrighty then.

Peace:thumbsup:

[DCBob]

20. I think people realize that Obama needs to be successful for the sake of the country..

If he doesn't succeed then we may all be doomed.

22. nut jobs think hes the worst

i dont know... after hanging out on the hannity forums for a while to laugh at the nut jobs you would think Obama is the worst president in history. some of them even think he should be impeached for spreadiing his grandmothers ashes.

[corkhead]

24. That is certain to be higher than it is here on DU nt

[NJmaverick]

25. The interesting part is the 18% who don't seem to be split between DUers and Freepers

The rest of America seems to overwhelmingly support the excellent job he is doing.

[Honeycombe8]

26. Schwing! Glad to hear it. (and glad there's beg. to be more positive posts)! nt
