Even my 87 year old uncle- who's been a Republican all his life- commented to me on Friday (after Obama had got rid of Daschle) "I think this guy may end up being a really good President"....
New poll: Obama's sky-high numbers

Here are some more poll numbers on President Obama and the stimulus, courtesy of a new CNN survey (conducted Feb. 7-8, MOE +/- 3.5%):
-- 76% approve of the president's job
-- Obama's worst numbers seem to come from last week's Daschle news: 80% say Obama is doing a good job providing leadership for the country;
76% say he's doing a good job handling foreign policy;
72% say he's doing a good job handling the economy;
68% say he's doing a good job handling terrorism;
and 61% say he's doing a good job choosing his cabinet--
60% approve the job congressional Democrats are performing, versus
44% who say the same of congressional Republicans
-- 74% say Obama is doing enough to cooperate with Republicans, while
just 39% say the Republicans are doing enough to cooperate with Obama
--
54% support the economic stimulus, versus 45% who oppose it
