CNN Poll: More Americans trust Obama on economy over Republicans in Congress
By: CNN Political Unit

Washington (CNN) – President Obama’s disapproval ratings may be at an all-time high, but in a new CNN/ORC International poll, more Americans say they trust him on economic matters more than they do Republicans in Congress.

The survey released on Wednesday shows that although a lot of Americans are still unsure what’s in the president’s new jobs bill, they like most of the major proposals offered in the plan that was sent to Congress Monday.

“By a 43-35 percent margin, a plurality of Americans approve of the economic program Obama outlined in his speech to Congress last week, but more than one in five don’t have any view at all of the jobs bill,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

The president will travel to North Carolina Wednesday as he continues to try to sell his $447 billion dollar plan to encourage job growth to the public.

2. That stupid congressmembers hurt our party, that former-mayors (even PUMA ones) still wield some

credibility in certain communities, that people are not happy with the direction of the country/economy and we need to work extra hard to enlightened them about who's really to blame, that the teabaggers are engaged and we need to unite and fight hard in order to beat those decrepit fuckers back into the holes from whence they came... among other things.

Good morning, Manny! Hope you have a great day! :hi:

4. Good, but a year ago it was more like +20 blaming Bush over Obama--it's getting closer

because the longer Obama is in the more he owns the problems.
