Despite the president's claim that he doesn't believe in bigger government, a new poll shows there is widespread belief among Americans that he does.
Majorities of Americans think President Barack Obama is meeting, if not exceeding, expectations, and keeping his campaign promises. In addition, despite Obama's claim that he doesn't believe in bigger government, a new poll shows there is widespread belief among Americans that he does.

Just over half of Americans -- 52 percent -- think so far Obama is meeting expectations and 14 percent say he is actually exceeding expectations. These sentiments are almost identical to those from the beginning of the year (13-14 Jan 2009), however there is a shift in perceptions that Obama is not performing up to par.
The number of people who think Obama is falling below expectations has doubled from 11 percent in January to 23 percent today. Almost all of the change comes from people moving from saying it is "too soon to tell" to saying Obama is not meeting expectations.

All in all, 58 percent think Obama is keeping the promises he made during the campaign -- more than twice the number who say he is drifting off course (28 percent).

How do Americans feel about the role of government? A 56 percent majority thinks the federal government is too big today. And by a 20 percentage point margin -- 55 percent to 35 percent -- the poll finds Americans would rather pay lower taxes and have a smaller government rather than pay higher taxes for larger government.
Even so, more people lean toward saying the nation's economy needs the economic policies of Obama (49 percent) right now rather than the economic policies of Ronald Reagan (40 percent).

Were those expectations low?
DUH! What tipped them off....spending trillions of dollars we don’t have for things like investigating why pig poop smells?
“News Flash! Bears really do in the woods!”
Well isn't that the same percentage of idiots who voted for the guy??? If hopechangeyism was so great shouldn't the percentage be higher, not flat??
Meeting expectations? That can mean anything. He’s meeting MY expectations, which were that he would be a miserable failure.
Depends upon the question. I would say he is exceeding my expectations.
The polls always come to a conclusion that is contradictory. Obama is good and his policies are good. When asked about a particular policy then it is not good. Conclusion: The people who are polled are far more likely to be stupid, than not.
I’d have to say that he’s fulfilling the expectations I had for his performance. He is, in fact, exceeding those expectations...much to our dismay and woe.
He is, almost singlehandedly, destroying the US Economy, the future of the Republic, and the prospective prosperity of our children and grandchildren.
He’s a busy SOB...
“...FOX News Poll: Obama Believes in Bigger Government...”
No, no, no...they got it all wrong, the poll should read:
Fox News Poll: Obama believes in himself and a HUGE totalitarian Fascist government...”
What a bogus poll... Of course he’s meeting expectations.
My expectation of him is right on. He’s a commie rat.
To FOX NEWS:
No sh*t Sherlock!
The perfect sign....LOL!
The end is nigh -- and that's good ( End of the Bear Market?)
18 months to two years more....
Most people aren't seeing it like we do, sorry to say.
Of course he’s meeting expectations and keeping campaign promises. I heard him the first time. He told us exactly what he means to do and he’s doing it...Destroying the country and reconfiguring it according to his socialist agenda...Just nobody who voted for the yahoo (and many who didn’t) didn’t give a flip! Now here we are! Bah!
He has met all my expectations, HE SUCKS
It appears that a few facts are leaking out through the MSM filter. That’ll have to be fixed. Damned internet. Damned Savage. Damned Limbaugh. But on the bright side, the morons are still as dumb as turtle droppings!
