I thought this was great news too - but I wondered about the 25% who had no change of opinion.
I can only suppose those that love him would chose improved - so I read the numbers as:
worsened 48%
improved 23%
still terrified 29%
Count me in that 25%. I thought he was a worthless piece of excrement on November 4, I thought he was a worthless piece of excrement on January 20, and I STILL think he's a worthless piece of excrement.
