Obama gets high marks for first 100 days

"WASHINGTON - As he enters his 100th day in office, President Barack Obama enjoys higher marks from the American public than his most recent predecessors did at similar points in their presidencies, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

More than six in 10 approve of Obama's job, nearly two-thirds view him favorably, and a majority believe he has gotten off to a solid start during his first three months on the job.

Perhaps most significantly, Americans so far find him to be likeable. More than 80 percent in the poll say they personally like Obama, even if they don’t agree with all of his policies. And respondents give him high scores on his personality, demeanor and leadership qualities."

Now that Obama's first 100 days have been deemed favorable perhaps it's time to ask what has the Republican party accomplished in those 100 days. The answer is, "Not so much"!

I guess they didn't figure this poll into their numbers.

Newsvine - The President has completed 100 days in office. Based on his performance so far, what grade would you give him?

Funny, the one I voted in yesterday showed much different results. I went to look and the poll that showed mostly negative numbers is now missing.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29493093/

Could MSNBC removed it because it did not fit their agenda?

It's kinda hard for the minority party to accomplish anything when the majority party won't even talk to them.

I was actually surprised that on WMAL this morning (a rather conservative radio show), 3 of the commentators on the show gave Obama a B+, a B, and a C.

As for me, I disagree with most of Obama's policies, but I still have a hard time disliking him as a person. So, I find credibility in the above polls.

You clowns must have missed this in the OP.
