There's a lot of overblown talk right now about how President Obama has righted
his political ship since the midterm election by helping to force through an
abundance of mostly liberal legislation in the lame duck congressional
session. A Rasmussen poll

released yesterday presents a very different conclusion. The poll shows that, by
a margin of 3 to 2 (39 percent to 26 percent), likely American voters who have a
strong opinion about Obama's performance strongly disapprove of his performance
– the exact same ratio (45 to 30 percent at that time) as on Election Day.

I really think a lot of people feel better about the future because in January, there will be more of a balance of power. The country tanked under complete Republican leadership and it is tanking again under complete Democrat leadership. I truly think people feel more optimistic about the future because of the change in Congress. I just pray the new Congress concentrates on helping to create private sector jobs, not growing the government and spending us into oblivion!

Catnip, I agree about a balance of power and had no problem with the House going to the GOP. Look what it did for Clinton! :-)

Annie,...That is because Clinton moved to the center and worked with the GOP....I do not think Obama will move much at all.....I hope I am wrong for the benefit of this nation......Time will tell,we will see.....

Grumpy, wasn't going with extending the Bush tax cuts, a move to the center? Obama may have captured many Independents with that move, while the GOP has turned off Hispanics, the unemployed and 9/11 responders.

I'm sorry but the GOP is going against their own better interests. Seriously, I can't wait to see how the new House will try and govern, because just sayin' NO isn't going to work. Believe it or not, I'm about a balance of power and if the GOP has good ideas, I'm IN.

Politics as usual. If your adversary gains power then you must leave your constituents to further promote your ability to compromise in order to reap the benefits of the next election or be satisfied with one term.

Now to those of you on the left, are you happy? No your not. Did you get what you wanted? For two years you got some but not all. Now you will get nothing for two years.

A two party government will satisfy some but not all. It's like a ping pong game. Why even bother to vote? It is useless.
Where is the party of the majority? Many say it would be destructive to not vote two party because your vote for a third party would give the opposing party a win. When, then do you bring in a third party? Never I guess.

He might. He won't mean it, and will only sucker the Repubs into agreeing with him, but this man wants re-elected so he can finish his destroy America agenda...................

Now come on, define strong opinion? Basicially, most polls do show that folks in general like our President.

I think SOME do like his personality maybe, but polling shows that a big majority think that we are headed in the wrong direction. I don't like his personality, but I can't STAND whiny men, and can't stand people who act condescendingly either, nor can I stand narcissists. So I don't like Obama at all.
