More than a month after his November victory, President-elect Barack Obama is enjoying a larger post-election honeymoon with the American public than his recent predecessors did, according to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Two out of three respondents say they’re pleased with Obama’s early appointments and three-fourths believe that the level of his involvement in making policy has been exactly right.

Another two-thirds view the president-elect in a positive light — a rating that's more favorable than the numbers Bill Clinton and George W. Bush received 1992 and 2000.

These scores, combined with the fact that nearly 80 percent believe Obama will face bigger challenges than other recent presidents have, seem to have given the president-elect some early leeway with Americans, says Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Peter Hart.

“Compared to Bill Clinton in ’93 or Bush in ’01, we’re seeing a president who has been given a longer leash by the American public,” McInturff said. “This is not a traditional start of a presidency where people give you just a couple of months.”

LOL. How convenient.

Amazing what a compliant press that refuses to run any negative stories does for your approval rating.

Poll:

First question:

Are you a Democrat?

If yes, please answer the following questions about Obama. If no, thank you for wasting our time.

How can they? He smokes evil Tobacco and has admitted that he misspoke about quitting.

[skeeter]

The US media is embarrassing.

[alecqss]

Looks like Obamas - in scandals - will leave Clintons in a dust...

[jrooney]

I seriously doubt the poll. If somewhat true ANY CONSERVATIVE that supports Zero with his Chicago liberal radical change is most likely the same type of all or nothing POS conservative that stayed home or voted third party to punish the GOP. That type of conservative is no conservative at all. They own this coming train wreck which has started BEFORE Zero has even taken office. Way to go idiots for voting Zero in! Chicago change you can believe in.

Bill Clinton had Monica. Barack Obama has the MSM.

"Amazing what a compliant press that refuses to run any negative stories does for your approval rating."

Exactly! Given a compliant media, even a do-nothing community organizer tied to Chicago criminals and domestic terrorists can smell like a rose.

[eureka!]

Definitely an interesting start...

[Commander X]

Well, of course this poll is a crock. The timing is impeccable considering what is happening in Chicago.

I’m sure O-bummer has a high approval rating in Kenya as well.

[Holicheese]

"say they’re pleased with Obama’s early appointments" Ask the average person who was pleased to name one appointment besides Hillary!

[pray4liberty]

Well sure, he hasn't done anything yet.

His wife, however, is another story...the tabloids are going to town on her!

[citizencon]

a public of 10 respondents, all Democrats, that is...

[headstamp 2]

“The US media is embarrassing.”

More than that. They are a disgace and have lost all credibility after this ridiculous Presidential campaign.

[webschooner]

The US media is embarrassing.

They're much worse than that. George Washington would have lined them up and had them executed for this behavior in his day.

The Federalist Paper 1, General Introduction - Alexander Hamilton

It will be forgotten, on the one hand, that jealousy is the usual concomitant of love, and that the noble enthusiasm of liberty is apt to be infected with a spirit of narrow and illiberal distrust. On the other hand, it will be equally forgotten that the vigor of government is essential to the security of liberty; that, in the contemplation of a sound and well-informed judgment, their interest can never be separated; and that a dangerous ambition more often lurks behind the specious mask of zeal for the rights of the people than under the forbidden appearance of zeal for the firmness and efficiency of government. History will teach us that the former has been found a much more certain road to the introduction of despotism than the latter, and that of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing demagogues, and ending tyrants.

When you write your Senators . . . include this or some of it in your letter. Maybe they forgot The Federalist Papers, but WE must remind them how important these Papers are to the foundation and core of the United States of America.

And the closing swipe:

A negative view of Bush

While Obama seems to be enjoying a honeymoon with the public, it's finalizing its divorce with President George W. Bush. Americans have a much more negative impression of him than they did of his father, George H.W. Bush, or Clinton before they left office.

According to the poll, 79 percent say they're not going to miss him. That's compared with 55 percent who said that of Clinton in the December 2000 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

In addition, 48 percent believe that Bush will go down as one of the country's worst presidents. Only 18 percent said that of Clinton, and just 6 percent said that of George H.W. Bush.
