As you may know, Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich has been arrested on charges that he sought bribes in exchange for official actions, including appointing someone to take over Obama's seat in the U.S. Senate. Obama has not been implicated in this case. Do you think Obama has or has not done enough to explain any discussions his representatives may have had with Blagojevich about the Senate seat?
- 51% Has done enough
34% Has not done enough
"Majorities across the partisan spectrum approve of Obama's handling of the transition - a near-unanimous 91 percent of Democrats, 73 percent of independents and even 59 percent of Republicans. That's about the same among Democrats since late November, up 10 points among independents - and up a remarkable 20 points among Republicans."
