WASHINGTON – In one of the economy's darkest hours in decades, it looks as if people are taking Barack Obama up on his exhortations for hope and change. Seven in 10, or 72 percent, voice confidence the president-elect will make the changes needed to revive the stalling economy, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released Tuesday.

Underscoring how widely the public is counting on its new leader, 44 percent of Republicans joined nearly all Democrats and most independents in expressing that belief.

The poll shows trust in Obama's ability to succeed is even broader, at least for now. Sixty-eight percent said they think when he takes office in January, the new president will be able to enact the policies he pushed during his presidential campaign.

People signaled a willingness to wait on one of the keynotes of his agenda — tax cuts. Only 36 percent said they wanted Obama to make income-tax cuts a top priority when he takes office, and even fewer wanted higher taxes on the rich to be a primary goal.

Get ready for the biggest, harshest, hardest dose of reality in American history.

Since WHEN did a DEMOCRAT President ever LOWER taxes????

[fatez]

I hope he does, but I am buying as much silver as I can afford in anticipation of the inflation he is going to bring.

The MSM polling their own propaganda.

I would agree. But only because he didn't push any real policies. It should be easy for him to enact them. He could do that before breakfast the first day...

If Obama thinks he's going to tax his way out of this recession - he'd better think again.

What, hope he makes changes, or just gives it time to fix itself? Excuse me if I suddenly plotz.

[ronnie raygun]

The koolaide has not worn off yet, I see.

Eighty-two percent of those polled believe Obama farts perfume.

[Moconservative]

Wait until that 72% is about 15% in about a year.

They won’t be singing Kumbaya then!

In the end the ‘bats will blame Bush and “inherent racism” for all of Obarry’s failures.

The public will get a dose of ZERO reality under the Hussein regime.

It will be raining puppies for the next four years.

By the time he is inaugurated, most of the movable money in the stock market controlled by thinking, rational people will be gone - off to greener pastures.

The idiots who responded to this poll, if they still have any money that is invested in the market after smokes, dope, widescreen TV rentals, and beer runs will find that their 'vast' fortune is for shit.

I recently got pissed off at my retirement company for not crediting a 10/31 payment to a non-market fund; they responded that they are inundated with transfer requests from market funds that they weren't able to get to normal business operations until 11/11....what does that tell the thinking person - the market is being deserted. Now any movement by a relatively small sector of the market will disproportionately affect the market's swing. With the wild swings, other factors affecting confidence, viability, and outlook also suffer. It is depression time folks.
