BLAGO BUMP

lol.

It is rather funny that some Republicans are trying to connect him with Blago's corruption. A Republican pundit was on MSNBC earlier today and he was trying pretty hard to do: Blago = Corruption = Obama.

Wow.

Don't ask me why he get's higher approvals in a state that was 12% more GOP.

Maybe some moderate Republicans are approving now.

Georgia having more moderate Republicans than the country as a whole?  Weird result.

The GA result doesn't make much sense but if it's actually accurate... maybe he should have campaigned for Martin.

Then again, maybe part of the reason he's so popular now is because he didn't.

Poor Martin.

A 50-state hypothetical 2012 Obama vs. Palin map would be hilarious right now.

yeah, I'm surprised they didn't try to bring Bill Ayers into it

Indeed. I hope we start getting some of those as soon as he takes office, if only for amusement purposes.

Well, he did say f**k him and call him a motherf**ker, and we know that he didn't think much of Senate candidate number 1, so I don't see why this should hurt him.

Per CNN poll:

82% Approve
15% Disapprove

"Barack Obama is having a better honeymoon with the American public than any incoming president in the past three decades. He's putting up better numbers, usually by double digits, than Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, or either George Bush on every item traditionally measured in transition polls," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

The poll also suggests that the public approves of the President-elect's cabinet nominees, with 56 percent of those questioned saying Obama's appointments have been outstanding or above average, with 32 percent feeling the picks have been average, and 11 percent saying Obama's choices have been below average or poor.

That 56 percent figure is 18 points higher than those who said then President-elect Bush's cabinet appointments were outstanding or above average and 26 points higher than those who felt the same way about then President-elect Clinton's nominees.

The CNN/Opinion Research poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, with 1,013 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3 percentage points.

One of those "If you could vote again for Obama or McCain ..."-polls from Texas or elsewhere would be interesting now ...

[Eraserhead]

I wonder what Free Republic's take on this poll was... lol
