New York, January 27, 2009 – With one week into a new presidential administration, a substantial majority of Americans approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president.
The Diageo/Hotline Poll of 800 registered voters conducted by FD from January 21-24, 2009, finds that 63% of voters say they approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as President, with 42% saying they “strongly approve.”
Voters Are Confident He Will Bring “Real Change” to Washington
The Poll finds that 75% of voters are “confident” that President Obama will bring “real change to the way things are done in Washington, D.C.” This represents a nine-point increase from the 66% of voters who said they were “confident” in his ability to bring real change in the Diageo/Hotline Poll conducted immediately after the Presidential Election.
The Poll also finds that 76% of voters hold a favorable impression of President Obama, while only 15% of voters hold an unfavorable impression.
Wonderful news. Obama enjoys a higher approval rating than Ronald Reagan.
