Looks like Obama got some kind of bump, maybe from the Muslim Speech? Party ID is pretty interesting too.

If BO got some kind of bump, it wasn't much. He has been in the low 60's in most polls for some time. This is within MOE of where he appears to be at this time.

But he has not yet had to make any hard choices. Every decision will alienate someone.

The party ID is not in agreement with any other poll I have seen. 41% I. Take with a huge grain of salt.

"But he has not yet had to make any hard choices. Every decision will alienate someone."

Umm...lets go back over those first 100 days again. He's had to decide whether or not to bailout the entire banking system, whether to push through the largest stimulus package in the history of our country, whether to increase our national debt to dangerous levels in order to reverse a global financial meltdown, whether to boost troops in Afghanistan, restructure our entire Health Care system, restructure how and where the military spends its billions of dollar.

So, yeah Bigmike, I'd say he's had a few "hard choices" he's made. The fact that his approval ratings has maintained a number in the low to mid 60s basically this entire time probably means the American public approves of how he's handling his job, even if they don't approve of every single decision he's made.

I think we still have the exact same health care system we had last Nov. All BO has done so far on health care is talk about it. When ANY plan to revamp health care does finally surface, some won't think it goes far enough, some will thnik it goes too far, some will think it costs too much, some will think quality will suffer, etc, etc, etc. Those who actually like the plan will be a minority.

All those other things you mentioned are just continuation of W's policies. Doesn't sound like change to me. And they are all the easy way out, just print more money. Just like W was doing.
