The folks on Fox News demonize him around the clock, but President Obama gets strong votes of confidence in two nationwide "first 100 days" polls by the Associated Press and Pew Research.
In the AP poll, conducted by Gfk Roper, 76 percent agreed that Obama is a "strong leader." A total of 64 percent approved how he is handling the job of president, with 30 percent disapproving -- 22 percent (presumably Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and Sean Hannity fans) strongly.
The poll showed that, by a 50 percent to 29 percent, Americans prefer Democrats over Republicans in handling the economy.
...
The president received high marks, and Republicans low grades, in other questions in the Gfk/Roper survey.
Asked if President Obama understands ordinary Americans, 74 percent agreed. The pollster asked whether the new president will "keep America safe," a question on which Obama has lately been hammered by the political right: 71 percent answered in the affirmative.
The poll asked whether Republicans are cooperating enough, or not enough, with the new Democratic administrarion.
A total of 65 percent answered "not enough."
