Wall Street Journal — Public Wary of Deficit, Economic Intervention
Poll numbers from the Wall Street Journal and NBC show rough waters for the administration, especially when trying to sell an expensive health care plan.
57 percent of Americans now think of Obama as very or somewhat liberal compared to 49 percent when he took office. 43 percent of Americans disapprove of many of his policies compared to 51 percent who mostly approve. When he took office, 32 disapproved of many policies and 65 percent mostly approved. Substantial majorities oppose the closing of Guantanamo Bay and the bailout/buyout of General Motors.
