    Default AP Poll: After Obama's 100 Days, US on Right Track

    Any red blooded American should be proud of this report!!!!!!!!!!!!! We haven't had one this good in YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Published: April 23, 2009
    WASHINGTON (AP)

    Millions of people jobless. Billions of dollars in bailouts. Trillions of dollars in U.S. debt. And yet, for the first time in years, more Americans than not say the country is on the right track.

    In a sign that Barack Obama has inspired hopes for a brighter future in the first 100 days of his presidency, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows that 48 percent of Americans believe the United States is headed in the right direction -- compared with 44 percent who disagree.

    The ''right direction'' number is up 8 points since February and a remarkable 31 points since October, the month before Obama's election.

    More: http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009...Poll.html?_r=1

    I suspect we'll be seeing a lot more good news in the future concerning the direction of this republic!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If we could only somehow limit the fear, loathing and incessant whining from the lil' ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    After seeing what the average citizens did on April 15th with mass protests, I'd say yes we are begining to get on the right track. To stop Congress, and ensure freedom for the next generation as opposed to slavery.

    Seems pretty even to me, why do you find this so remarkable???????

    His approval rating is pretty much on par with every other president in their first 100 days. I don't know why the MSM is having such wet dreams about this guy.

    I see that the AP poll questioned an astonishing number of people (1000)

    Real Clear politics doesn't state the number questioned but their approval ratings are clearly different from the AP article. In fact it seems that the AP polling is the ONLY one where the right direction is higher than the wrong direction. Gotta wonder who they were calling to get those numbers.


    Direction of country:
    Right Direction 36.6
    Wrong Track 56.7

    On a side note it seems Biden is less popular than Cheney, who'd have thunk it?

    Double take. Joe Biden is less popular than Dick Cheney. Well, in the first half year of the first term that is.

    A slim 51 percent of Americans have a favorable view of Vice President Biden. Cheney was at 58 percent in July 2001. Al Gore, 55 percent in April 1993. The veep comparison comes courtesy of the Pew Research Center's latest report
