Igive him an A+ considering what he inherited.

If anyone has ruined our 2 party representative government it is the GOP, otherwise known as "The Party of No"!

I wanted to give obama a chance, but he has completely ruined my trust. He has utterly ignored the Republicans in all debates and has ruined our 2 party representative Government. His reign and I do mean reign is dragging us into a dictatorship further each day. I hate the fact that he spent so much money -that we don't have. I abhor the fact that he is having the Government take over private businesses – this is truly frightening.

I give our new president a 10........!

I give him two thumbs up, so there!!

CNN Polling Director Keating Holland said "The number of Americans who think Obama has the right personal qualities to be president has gone up since the campaign last fall,". and "That wasn't true for George W. Bush eight years ago, and it may be one reason why Obama's approval rating is still in the 60s." According to a CNN Poll of Polls compiled early Wednesday, 63 percent say they approve of how Obama's handling his duties as president. George W. Bush stood at 62 percent in a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll in April 2001, CNN, what is the difference? It is clear that Dr. Keating Holland is better to do other jobs, rather than directing the statistical/political polls.

On the scale of 1-10, I`ll give him an 8. We need a tough stance on ILLEGAL immigration. Let Mexico take care of their own problems. We can no longer afford to take care of theirs, too.---- Legal is entirely OK.

In Spite of the obstructionist Republicans President Obama is doing all he can to work for the people. I still can not believe the republicans do not get it. we want our elected officials to work together to get things done for us all and most of us are not interested in you right wind narrow minded ideologies and exclusiveness. Get it soon or you will be done for as a national party.

I'm so sick of this 100 day measure. President Obama has not done anything but put some policies in place, we do not know if they will work or not. We will know how well Obama is doing and what we really think of him in 2012. I am a strong supporter of Obama but come on folks, we are in the honeymoon period. Of course 6 out 10 approve of him. After what we went through in the past 8 years, even I would have a high approval rating. Let's see after hopefully his 2 terms and then judge him on what he has done, like we have done every other President. I have never seen so much scrutiny put upon one man in my entire life. Half of you out there want him to succeed so badly that you are willing to give him a free pass and the other half of you hate his skin color so much that you will do everything in your power to see him fail, even if that means making you own lives miserable in the process. Let this man do what we elected him to do, and then judge him.

6 in 10 Americans also believed in Obama's ability to inspire...
>>>
The nation's gross domestic product fell 6.1% in the first quarter - nearly the same pace as the end of 2008, and a much sharper drop than expected.

President Obama has tried harder to accomplish more than any other president that I remember in the first 100 days. President Obama is not afraid what of what people think as he is doing things for the people and to help the people. He is also trying to bring this country out of a depression that make the "Greart Depression" in the 1930's look like a drop in the bucket.
The "Great Depression" only affected this country where the depression we are in now affects the whole world.

Everyone loves Obama..., but his liberal policys suck!! Where's those numbers???

he seems to approach all problems with the same mind set as when he purchased his $1000,000 house. buy it first and worry about the fact that you have no yard to go with it later. in this case instead of Tony Rezko to bail him out he has the tax payers. his answer to anything is allocate a few more billion dollars to take care of it just like using a credit card right and like all loans they will come due and payable then what. create jobs by bailing out banks and wall street but forcing the most job producing industry into bankruptcy one car needs steel- plastic- tires-cloth- electrical components- transmissions brakes ect; then transporting to dealers fully staffed dealerships advertising and so fort. thats job creation. foreign policy no problem just ignore the atrocities commited by certain regimes and concentrate on how we are to blame for the ills of the world and threaten to try our own people because they pushed the envelope a bit when interrogating terrorist . on his 1st 100 days i would give him a minus. for the rest of his term lets see him deliver on all this no problem just write them a check governance

Now with a filibuster proof majority in the Senate, the Dems now fully OWN every catastrophe caused by their policies.

Americans who were too young to "enjoy" the 1970s will get a front row seat to finally experience first-hand the havoc and misery liberal policies cause. It's been said those who refuse to learn history are doomed to repeat it. I say, those who refuse to learn history and economics are doomed to vote for liberals.

So, no more whining, liberals... you own it now. It's all on you. And when your massive, massive, massive government bloat fails to produce anything OTHER than incompetence, bloat, inefficiency, waste, government fiefdom building, and ultimately civil unrest, you won't be able to blame it on eeeeeeeeeeevil Bush anymore. The last time you had a filibuster proof majority, things didn't turn out so well. Tell me how it works out for you this time. Yeah, good luck with that.

Why would any American of sound mind approve of the current president's action these 3 months when he has put the US down at every opportunity, chosen cabinet members all who have legal problems, proposed the highest taxation in history on Americans of all financial levels, made the US economy worsen with his spend/spend/spend and corporate takeovers, elevated the union to ownership of the auto industry, physically bowed to a muslim king while ignoring the European queen, flew his plane over NYC knowingly frightening thousands of Americans, called conservatives and veterans probable terrorists, etc, etc, etc. That man is going to destroy the USA. He can't even prove he is an American citizen eligible to be president. He did not register for the draft. Some patriot!

These polls crack me up. You see an aol poll, the numbers are drastically the other way. Who do they poll? Liberals? I've never been polled.

Given all the stumbling blocks the President has to face, he is doing an extraordinary job of steering this country in the right direction. He can please some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time, but he cannot please all the people all the time. Patience! A+.

Obama rocks. He's the breath of fresh air after eight long years of filth, stagnation, recidivism, redaction, lies, corruption and hate. Thank you, Obama! Keep up the good work. And Republicans: Thanks for showing us your true colors and acting like the Three Stooges.

The drop in the economy is understandable as the consumer is wary of the predatory business atmosphere hence 2009 will be considered the year of the raw deal!!!

I think obama was handed the worst economic sitution in history really the GOP was on leave for the past 8 yrs all they were paying attention to was the war period they didnt care about the american people at all I feel people when you vote for these presidents we have to really consider intelligents also how smart are they and can they lead its not a matter of GOP OR DEMO its matter of smart intelligent and calm like obama and bill clinton look at the mess we are in i dont think if it was Al GOre who had won in 2000 we will be in this mess we are in now I FEEL FOR THE COMING YRS WE REALLY NEED DEMOCRATS IN OFFICE PERIOD UNTILL THIS MESS IS CLEANEED

Comparatively speaking, it's hard to imagine how we couldn't give him a thumbs up.
let's not rest on laurels, though.

Enough time has not passed for a true evaluation. But, based on how you have been dealing with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, You have an A+ attitude. You are GREAT.

Ok he has just scared the crap out of new york, is going to more the quadtriple our debt, keep troops over seas when he said on his way to the white house he will get them out, and the cia screwup, etc. Lets see how many people agree in 4 years.

We think the President has done a remarkable great job in his
first 100 days. Our standing in the world has improved very much
over the Bush administration, which we feel is the success to world
peace. I am very happy with Obama's performance.

That's because we FINALLY have a President who is actually on the forefront of the White House. He's working day in and day out on issues that matter to the American people.

There are those that may not always agree with his policies, but they support him because they SEE him, HEAR him everyday working on the issues that affect our country. The first family is doing EXACTLY what voters wanted and that is being very "upfront and All-American"

President Obama has been very "HANDS ON" and Americans appreciate the fact that they have a President who is truly working for them and telling them what he's doing every step of the way. President Obama has been more vocal and visible than any other President.

Say it ain't so...
Are the stories true of what Obama recently gave as his part of the gift exchanges with some Heads of State? (i.e. DVDs and an iPod compared to an ornamental pen holder made from the timbers of the Victorian anti-slave ship HMS Gannet.)
Doesn't the President have a whole staff who do nothing but think about protocol and PR? If he does have people like that on his staff, they need to be fired. If he doesn't, he needs to hire some.
I know the economy and war related issues are much more critical than simple gift exchanges but honoring and showing respect to our allies is also fairly critical to reaching our goals, too.
If the story is true, I am embarassed both by his gift choices and by the failure of the US media to keep us better informed.

This President is facing, and dealing with, more issues than anyone I can remember. He is keeping many balls in the air, and just keeping up with incoming information must be a formidable task. That's why his ratings remain high...this is a man who can multitask, delegate, and stay on top of things. The worst thing that has happened was that stupid flyover, and I'm not sure how they kept him out of the loop on that decision.

I give President Obama a B. He has done some good things like passing the economic, and housing bills. He is trying to create jobs so the unemployment rate will slow decrease. Obama comes on tv to show the Amercian people that he is listening to them and tell the people what his plans are for the country.

Love my prez!

I give him an A for effort. A B+ for accomplishments in spite of the republicans efforts to sink his policies.

President Obama will get an A in every department as far as I'm concerned. What a breath of fresh air. His administration and his family make me so proud to be an American. He's out there everyday taking on a multitude of issues and does it with intelligence and grace. The only time we saw Bush was at the ranch, which I say lightly, not one cow on the place, was riding his dirt bike or hacking down trees. Every other time when Bush was in front of the cameras, he had to read from his notes prepared by someone else and he didn't do that very well. Go Obama! and on another note, Welcome Mr. Spector to our good party.

Considering what President Obama has to deal with it is a wonder that he's able to do well so far.

The American people and the world cannot expect President Obama to straighten out in such a short amount of period of time what Bush and Cheney messed up in eight years.

What a wonderful day it was when Barack Obama became this
Countrys 44th president. He's been a godsend and I, for one, wake
up every day feeling safer, more hopeful, and more patriotic than ever.
We finally have a president who has dignity, ethics, compassion, fairness, intelligence and is inclusive to all people of this great Country.

..Well deserved. Fantastic job Mr. President–whow, what a difference.

100 days done 1360 left to go.

When will the GOP learn that they have to offer up some ideas instead of spitting venom at Obama. Oh I forgot they didn't even learn from Bush. Thank god the party of NO is going down in flames.

I give him two thumbs down, which more than offsets one thumb up. Plus, my vote is more important and more informed than the 6 in 10.

It isn't a surprise because he is saying the things that we need to hear at this point; we are in for a rough ride and it will be a while before we are back to something better which might not be they way it was. Besides, compared to the last administration, this one is full of thinking and responsible people that have the whole country (as well as the long term future of the country) in mind.

President Obama has been doing what he said he would do. He is trying to do for us, whether you are a Demacrat, Republican or Independent. We are heading in the right direction. I understand also he will hit a bump in the rode on his way like all Presidents who are in a Recession.

I give the President a thumbs up!

bush had a 62% at the 100 day mark and he didn't have the media in his corner. in the first 100 days Obama has had 28 hours of coverage. Bush got only 8 hours. during this time MSM had a favorable view of Obama 56% of the time, 34% of the time for bush. Given those #s I would say that Obama should be around 80%. I think bush was doing a better job in the first 100

I find it hard to believe that 60% americans favor what Obama is doing to our country. It is unbelievable. I would say at least half of that 60% doesn't have a clue.

Let me see if I can wrap my brain around this....

He spends almost $4trillion
The GDP falls 6.1% in the first quarter
And 63% still think he's doing a good job?

What is the 63% smoking and where can I get some?

I do think he has been trying along with his support team behind him...but ..no matter how he tries..he must give God credence first.
Listen to your DC peers..Marriage is defined by God between man and woman, and everyone is America does not have an equal right to get married (4/8/09 Bishop Harry Jackson). The State (or Feds..government) have no buisness in the issue of marriage. (04/28/09 Rev. anthony Evans). The state regulates marriage..but the church ordains marriage...
This is the 400th birthday of America when Vicar Robert Hurt proclamed the gospel would go throughout the whole world, just as Paul said, and so it has. Vicar established a convenant with God for America..making it a nation of prayer with God. We can't loose that...

So he is about the same as everybody else. He even beat slick willie. Is this supposed to make me feel good or something. He is a presentable , good speaker and most Americans are willing to be cordial with him. Does not mean that we all agree with his politics, the people he has picked as cabinet or his henchman of the white "Karl Rove Jr." also called Rahm E

It´s the best image that the U.S. have in world view since ten years.

Give him more time, Bush/Mccains mess cant be fixed in mere days...

For the first time in many years, I feel hopeful for my country. President Obama is doing everything he can to turn this country around. He will make mistakes but he is going in the right direction. I am so proud that we have a president with integrity and character in the White House. He is truly a president for all of the people, not just the special interests or wealthy.

I think President Obama is doing a fine job. I would give him an "A" compared to what he has had to deal with. It's just 100 days and I do not expect all to be at it's best. He is only a man; who has great potentials and a vision to get the economy back on track with the help of others. At least 360 days would be reasonable . I have confidence in President Obama and his administration. Those who see less than an "A or B" is just fooling themselves because they refuse to give him the proper respect as well as credit. "Hail to the Chief"......my man. Our President!!!!

He is doing a GREAT JOB. We see and hear intelligence from him and all his cabinet and associates. What a difference from the past eight years. I am proud of my president and my country for electing him.

One could then conclude that 6 of 10 Americans are sheeple.

Under Bamanomics 50% of people will pay no income tax. His new welfare program "make work pay" gives people money who pay no income tax. So only 10% of the public who are actually paying income taxes think he is doing a good job. Lets take a new pole that only counts people who are paying income tax.

Two thumbs up!

Yep – that's OUR President – for the people.

Thank you Mr. President for showing us what TRUE leadership is for a change.

Same as George W. Bush at 100 days. Really, do we expect a President to be doing bad at 100 days? Anything President Obama wants he gets with majorities in each house. The funny part of his approval is that about 56% approve of his programs and I think that will be falling if their is no opposition in Congress.

considering the mess that Mr. Obama willingly walk into, he has handled the task with all the poise, grace and courage as anyone could. he has not dwelled on the past administration, and has look forward on getting us out of this mess. People will makes some pretty nasty remarks about his first 100 days, but we must look to the root of where those complaints come from.

Im one of those 6 in 10

Keep up the good work President Obama!!

He's doing a wonderful JOB! Keep it up Mr. President!

Obama and all cabinet and staff.......happy 1st 100 days.

The sheople have spoken.

Will they still bleat along with the those that tell them what to think when those that provide jobs leave the country because this country is turning into...i dunno...sweden??

President Obama is doing a tremendous job in a horribly hard time. He is just what America needed at just the right time. His qualities that continue to make Americans have faith and confidence in him? He is honest and I believe he is trying his very best to do the right thing for all Americans. He explains his reasoning to us. He has good moral instincts. He takes responsibility when there is a mistake and tries to correct it. He is not afraid to change his mind, if new information is available, or he decides another way would better serve America. Even when I don't agree with him, I know that he is true and doing what he thinks is best for all of us, and what is best for all of us, is what drives his decisions. He is extremly intelligent and way more educated than I am on all the issues and he will not make a decision on a whim . I trust him.

In the minority here, stop shredding the constitution please.

Who are you trying to kid?
Impeach obama now.Impeach obama now.Impeach obama now.
What's it going to take for you people to see what you're doing?

Grade – A+ It is simple for me. President Obama is TRYING! I don't expect him to fix all of the problems we have right now but as least he has a plan and is trying to implement it.

President Obama deserves all the high marks!!!

The GOP is dead! If the GOP is self-reflective, they will see that they resemble the very extreme groups they despise like the Taliban.

Dictating what women should do with their body (abolishing abortion), denying some of our citizens human rights/liberty (opposing gay marriage) and indirectly heading us back into the dark ages (refusing stem cell research).

Sound like some other extreme groups out there????

I'm surprised it's not even 8 in 10! After the preceding 8 years of a guy who was on vacation 25% of the time, who let the economy run amok so the rich could steal everything in sight, and who turned his back on the rest of the world so he could invade other countries at will for plunder and profit, I'm truly surprised Obama's approval rating isn't even 15-20 points higher.

Look, I know people are complaining that Obama is not doing anything about the pig flu. You have to understand, Obama wants to implement massive and extremely costly social programs. By weeding out a chunk of folks this will be easier to do – the pig flu is one method of reaching the goal.

Where is this poll taken, some sort of democratic meeting, a state mental institution or 2am at a comedy club? Most of the folks I speak with are 180 degrees from this point of view.

Popularity is no way to judge a president. Actions speak louder then words and the actions this amateur has taken have damaged our economy for the long haul, trampled our Constitution, and weakened our Country. A solid D in my view.

Now for all the nasty comments. Fire away.

There are other polls that have obama in the mid 50's but I guess the liberal media will not report on that. The people like obama personally but the majority do not share his goals on where to take the country. I believe you will see a drastic drop in the polls in the next six months or less.

Poll,who are they Polling? people off the street who think Palin is the VP?the news staffers at CBS,NBC,ABC,CNN,The same people who voted blinded by race,who are they polling?....No small busniess owners,no large business owners,no independent business owners,Maybe the Arms makers of America,where business has increased 4 fold since Obama has taked office...Polls are represenative of who are polled,get in line at the welfare office and take a poll?

...and 50% of Americans trying to figure out up from down!

It is a big sigh of relief to have a President that cares about everybody!

I think Mr. Biden is a cool man. I'm happy Mr. Obama picked Mr. Biden as the Vice President!

This guy, Obama, has not even proved he is an American.... not to date! So who's been asking the sleeping pills, folks? Who's that in the mirror!

In what nation did you take this poll ????
7 out of 10 where I work don't agree with this president, don’t trust this president, won’t support this community organizer / social worker elected non American president, sure, you keep asking the same question to the same people.

How in the name of all that is good and fair, can anyone who has a mind or the ability to think, give this Obama guy any points at all?
Hey! People, he has destroyed your future, your children's future and who knows for how many future generations? He is destroying the USA strong stances in those things that really matter internationally!
Start looking around you, see what's really happening America....!

CNN's pole showed 6 in 10 Americans give Obama a thumbs up.

In another poll, measring intelligence among voters, 6 in 10 Americans were deemed to be clueless and living in La La Land when it comes to the federal government.

Good for President Obama. He could give the right wing republicans
a million dollars each, and they would still find fault. Right wing, please FLY AWAY !!!!!!!!!!! Take RUSH and BOEHNER along.

Well see, that's the problem. Those six out of ten people are the same people who sit in front of the television all the time and have fallen victim to his canned speeches that are provided to him via professional writers and teleprompters. Obama has done nothing but put his mug in front of a camera every chance he gets. He's a professional media hog. I don't even watch the news anymore because Osama is always on there talking about what he is GOING to do. Well, it has been a 100 days and he's still just talking. Oh wait, he did put a bunch of tax evaders into our government structure to control "our" money. The man is a joke and the media who post his mug all over the airwaves are just lazy and incompetent because they can't be bothered to hunt for real news . It seems that reporting the truth when it comes to Osama is just taboo. Can we have some REAL journalism please?

Only 100 more shopping days before more than half of voting Americans figure out what has happened to them. Spend, baby, spend.

Congratulations Mr. President & First Lady,

It was like a dash to the 100 days mark, with such agility, that I believe the best is yet to come.

Please keep us in the loop and we will walk with you all the way.

Reagan became a republican but had the heart of a democrat to help the poor, the sick. He would vote for Obama.

We think President Obama is doing a great job. People like Giuliani (Dick Cheyney, Jr.) should be shutting up because the people have spoken – they didn't want Giuliani in NY, and we didn't want him as President – he don't know which head to think with.

Six out of ten isn't exactly a huge majority...

He gets a huge thumbs up for this President! We actually have a President who is working for the people for a change. And it's doubly nice to have a president trying to rebuild THIS country instead of Iraq.

He's done more positive things in his first 100 days than some Presidents have done in a full four year term. He's having a great positive affect on our country, as well as, the entire World. I can't thank him enough for restoring my faith in the Presidency of our United States of America.

America knows what's best for America, we said it during this past election, loud and clear. Can you here us now repugs?

and I am so proud you are our president

you are doing a great job

Bush was polling similarly at the same point. Obama's popularity will fall far and fast when people figure out what he is up to.

All possible thumbs up to the Obama Team. Their amazing multi-tasking success under impossible circumstances is UNPRECEDENTED!
Never mind the GNP (Grand No Party)!

I am very happy with most of the things he is doing. He gets a good approval rating from me!

The world must accept that United States is only one country among the countries of the world. Its contribution to the world is peace and aide, because of its stature as a super power, but the individual country by their own citizenry has a larger responsibility to also make a contribution for the development and augmentations of the threat that are hounding the whole world. Climate change, Global economic crisis and terror threats must be categorized as the main problems hounding the global environment. And a collective contribution among countries, not just United States; to address these crisis will surely make a big difference.

It's been a lot of pizza in last hundred days, but the jury is still out on the net results – This honeymoon is still on a up-swing.

President Obama's first one hundred days has given the world a breather from wars and threat of war. It is expected that the changed promised by the US president will start within the shores and borders of the United States and would just extend to other countries by means of gains. The economic packages for domestic establishment signed by the good president will not at the present affect other economies but the peaceful approach of the President do have a positive gain in terms of sound economic activities around the world.

Either your for or against..every single poll tells you that...what they wont show is, who is answering these polls

President Obama inherited the most difficult situation since FDR came to power in 1933. He is doing a suberb job on all fronts, and has the potential to be one of the really great presidents.

I've got to give high marks to this man for having the courage to inherit the mess that Bush/Cheney left as their legacy. It is hilarious to hear the Republican party's lame attempts to undermine his efforts. Arlen Spector made the right choice, no decent person would associate himself with the party of Limbaugh, although I respect Meagan McCain for standing up to the pill popping nitwit. Obama is leading the Democratic party and the nation in a new direction, his leadership is long overdue.

thank you mr. pres you are doing a great job

Do more than 6 realize that the church age has come to an end ! ?
