Three months into his presidency, Barack Obama stands out as perhaps the most trusted figure in American politics.
In a new Public Strategies Inc./POLITICO national survey of 1,000 registered voters, Obama outdistances figures on both the left and the right in earning the public’s trust, with two-thirds of respondents saying they trust the president “to identify the right solutions to the problems we face as a nation.”
I like how Pelosi and Palin are both the most distrusted of both their respective parties..!

Personally, I don't trust any politician. I will state that Mr Obama has, so far, made relatively few mistakes, but then he still has time to make them. As would a president of the opposite party.
I follow the daily Rasmussen polls on Obama's approval ratings. Since in office he has fallen into a range of +2 through +11. Rasmussen subtracts strongly disapproves from strongly approves so if Obama had 38% that strongly approved and 30% that strongly disapproved that day, he'd get a +8 for the day. He has never been in a minus situation so if I were him, and although I don't agree with him, I'd have to say he should be happy so far.
His overall approval rating has been between 55% and 59% since the beginning of March.

I simply rely on common sense, good judgment and ability to connect the dots...not polls. On those premises, I still see a Charlatan-in-Chief, and have yet to see anyone trustworthy in his creche at this point. It would appear the bank account for trust is negligible thus far.
Those on the right are having a hard time coping....i feel slightly bad for em....NOT....
