NEWS ALERT
from The Wall Street Journal


March 3, 2009

President Barack Obama is more popular than ever, Americans are hopeful about his leadership, and opposition Republicans are getting drubbed in public opinion, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.

The poll shows a sharp jump in the proportion of Americans who say the nation is "generally headed in the right direction" since Mr. Obama's January inauguration, a period when economic indicators and financial markets have suggested the opposite. The survey shows that 41% of Americans say the country is headed in the right direction, slightly below the 44% who say the country is on the wrong track.

Interesting that all we've heard for weeks is how his popularity is waning... there must be pants on fire all over the country!

1. What's really interesting is that the country is swirling the drain,

yet 41 percent think we're headed in the right direction! That is all about Obama and his leadership! And considering how bad things are right now, that's a pretty big number. It seems the public is not as freaked out as the cable TV assholes.

Note to Joe Scarborough: It looks like maybe you don't know what you're talking about again with all of your hysteria that the public doesn't agree with!

2. Good to know and from the

Wall Street Journal of all places. One would think the republican tactics of having rush limpbaugh as their leader would fail with the majority of Americans but it's always comforting to see it in black and white.

3. I was shocked to see this from the WSJ!

They have had it out for him since day one!

4. Huh? 41-44?

Typical WSJ horseshit.

5. No doubt they shaved the numbers...

But that they ran the story at all is pretty strange.

8. It went up from 26-59, which Chuck Todd said was the biggest jump EVER RECORDED for a

non-wartime situation (after 9/11 is the only exception).

6. It must have killed the WSJ to print that. nt

7. The Rich, Financial Networks, and Wall Street are at War with Obama

Its up to the American People to stand behind him. Looks like he's going to have these groups along with the Republicans hating him like FDR
