According to a New York Times/CBS News poll, Obama has a 63 percent
job approval rating and more than 75 percent of Americans are
optimistic about the next four years with him as president.

The poll results provide Obama with some backing as he confronts the
U.S. economic challenges and opposition from nearly all Republicans in
Congress.

....

Both polls found widespread support for Obama's effort to bridge the
partisan divide in Washington and found fault with Republicans for
balking.

In the New York Times/CBS poll, about 75 percent of respondents,
including 61 percent of Republicans said Obama has been trying to work
with Republicans. Video

Sixty-three percent said Republicans opposed the economic stimulus
package for political reasons rather than policy concerns.

Eighty percent of Americans think Republicans should work in a
bipartisan way rather than holding fast to their policies, according
to the poll.

If you can't count on all republicans opposing everything that's good
for the majority, what is this world coming to? republican
bipartisanship with the traitorous Dems? WTF?

It's time to get rid of all this "will of the people" crap. That only
works when the republicans are in power.

Next up: cats marrying dogs.

Strong but average for a new guy who has done nothing yet.

Should we shoot those republican traitors who feel he's doing a better
job of reaching across the aisle than the republicans are?

Or should we wait to see if they come back to their 'senses'?

Except for the stimulus thingie. Yes, he enjoys "average" strong support
and the public is waiting for the Republicans to get on board.

You're always on top of things. What portion of the "thingie" is
same-old-B.A.Y. pork and what portion is genuine stimulus?

Those are one and the same. We could study which programs do the most
good (see: multiplier effect) but then we'd have to consider giving
money to poor people based on the outcome.

This is why the tax cut is the way it is. W's $600 went to outstanding
bills or into savings accounts, generating little stimulus. Obama's
$8/wk (or whatever the amount is) is imperceptible and gets spent right
away.
