In a poll released just today, Gallup finds that Americans strongly support President Obama's efforts to fix the crumbling economy. Those surveyed were asked if they approve/disapprove of the President's handling of the economic stimulus plan, of the Democrats in Congress or of the Republicans in Congress. Here are the numbers:
President Obama:
- approve 67%
- disapprove 25%
- no opinion
Democrats in Congress:
- approve 48%
- disapprove 42%
- no opinion 10%
Republicans in Congress:
- approve 31%
- disapprove 58%
- no opinion 11%
It could not be any clearer: the American people want President Obama's plan enacted into law... and they want it now. Republican obstructionists are playing with fire by using mickey-mouse tactics to delay the bill and by lying again and again about the true nature of the legislation. Have they learned nothing?
Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and Tennessee's two GOP Senators should get out of the way - now!
