Gallup: Big Majority Thinks Obama Moving At Right Speed

Still more polling out today shows the public wants President Obama to think very, very big and has the stomach for Obama to try to get a great deal done — right now.

The latest: Gallup finds today that a surprising total of 69% think that Obama is either moving at the right speed or not fast enough in addressing the nation’s problems (click to enlarge)…




Of that 69%, 59% think he’s moving at about the right speed, and 10% think he’s not moving quickly enough. Barely one fourth think he’s going to fast.

Separately, the poll finds broad public support of Obama’s spending levels, which have been attacked relentlessly by Republicans in recent days. As Gallup puts it, “Americans say the economic stimulus package supported by Obama contains either the right amount of government spending or too little spending, rather than too much: 54% to 41%.”

One attack line from the right, however, appears to be gaining traction: More than four in five say they’re worried about the mounting federal debt, including 50% of Independents. That could become constraining down the road.

One interesting side note: The poll finds that the number of those who think Obama is going at the right speed has more or less held steady from a month ago, suggesting that even as the scale of Obama’s governmental ambitions has become clearer in the past few weeks, the public continues to support them.
