The Washington Post-ABC News survey found that less that half of Americans — 49 percent — say they believe the president will make the right decisions for the country. That's down from 60 percent at the 100-day mark of the Obama presidency.

that should come as no surprise when you are throwing money at other countries instead of tending to your own country's business!

Maybe that is why hussein obama has been out proselytizing. He's crawling to the believers in God like a desperate man. That must really get under the skin of the Godless left wingers.

Yes this is definitely accurate and useful information. This poll, and thread, will have a large impact on America and its citizens. Or its just nonsense for right wingers to pleasure themselves to.

I'm glad you were able to so maturely refute the information. I suppose it's easy to dismiss data when it isn't going your way.

I know that all conservatives will continue to be obstructionists and continue to invest in the defeat of this country by attempting to score political victory's while derailing much needed reform, but I also think alot of progressives who voted for Obama are also unhappy and registering their discontent because of his appeasement to the rightwingers.

We know now that these people are not seeking bi partisanship and we must ignore their shrieks and wails and get on with what is needed. Just like the neocons ignored (and smeared) anyone who disagreed with them, its now time to ignore conservatives who are only interested in blocking any type of overdue changes.

President Obama, you have both houses of Congress and the White House, use them! And quit trying to be nice, it does not work with the rightwing ideologues who have put this country in the hole it is in today.

It's because he made the stupid decision to attack health care instead of an issue that has more consensus, like ending the Cuban trade embargo (an overwhelming majority on that one). It would stimulate the economy instead of stifiling it and it would bring an end to a policy that has hurt the Cuban people and strengthened the Communist government for almost 50 years.

What "data"? Make-believe fantasies are NOT "data".

The poll (and several other corroborating polls like the Zogby) of course. You can wish it away but it won't make it go away.

What make believe fantasies? Are you referring to the wacko fantasies by liberals all during and even after the Bush presidency? Self-inflicted 9/11, war crimes, blah, blah, blha?
