President Obama gets sky-high marks for his response to Hurricane Sandy, which cut a brutal path along the country’s East Coast on Monday, according to the latest release of the Washington Post-ABC News tracking poll.
Nearly eight in 10 likely voters say the president has done an “excellent” or “good” job dealing with what’s been labeled a “super storm.” Almost as many give positive reviews to the federal government’s response generally. Even two-thirds of those who support Republican Mitt Romney in next week’s presidential election say Obama is doing well in this area.
The results for the hurricane response question are from interviews Tuesday evening, one of the four “waves” of interviews in the current release from the Post-ABC tracking poll. The one-night margin of sampling error is plus or minus six percentage points. As was the case Tuesday, responses in the Northeast across a range of demographic and political variables were on par with those throughout the tracking poll, which started Oct. 18.
Averaging across the most recent four waves, the presidential contest itself is back to a tie, with Obama and Romney each supported by 49 percent of likely voters.

Hey, all you FOLKS over there, STAND DOWN. I mean, START RUNNING, there’s a f’ing Hurricane heading this way. WAPO wow, now that’s what I call PRESIDENTIAL.
That right there is a leading question... “How do you think of Obama’s handling of hurricane Sandy? Who are you going to vote for?”
Now what if they asked “How do think of Obama’s handling of Benghazi (or even the economy!!)? Who are you going to vote for?” They wouldn’t ask that though. They ask the first set... Just another example of how the MSM shapes opinion.
Wonder if all the people who lived through the storm and are
surveying the damage think Obama fixed everything.
