About the new Diageo/Hotline poll ...

A new poll released today by National Journal Group's Hotline and its polling partner Diageo finds President Obama enjoying strong support one week into his administration, with Americans also generally backing the $825 billion stimulus package now working its way through Congress.

The Diageo/Hotline poll conducted by FD will be released in two parts, the first today and the second - looking at Congress and its leaders - on Wednesday. It is available to subscribers at The Hotline on NationalJournal.com.

Obama's favorability rating stands at 76 percent, with a job approval rating of 63 percent. Even Republicans have a generally positive view of the new president, with a plurality saying they approve of his job performance. So far, Democratic approval of Obama is nearly universal.

Overall, Americans are also supportive of the economic stimulus package Obama has asked Congress to pass. After learning the details of its provisions, more than two-thirds of respondents said they at least somewhat supported the package.

But partisan rifts do exist. Democrats were inclined to support the legislation - 58 percent of them strongly - while Republicans were split about evenly
