As a former staffer, I've read through and learned more about polls than I ever cared to know. I've never been a big poll person. But I learned sometime in '03-'04 just how accurate polling can be. Only as accurate as that day's news, however.
Something that really jumped out at me this morning was this WaPo/ABC poll stating 42% believe America is on the right track. Now that may not sound like a lot until you consider that's double what it was Jan 19, 2009. And more than 5X greater than in Oct. 2008. Unbelievably only 8% of the people responded in Oct. that they believed America to be on the right track!!
Since Obama has taken office, the number has doubled. That's quite amazing I think.
Maybe even more amazing than the double in right track responses is that 64% said they believed Obama's economic program would improve the economy. Something else striking in this poll was 58% said they were moderate-liberal compared to 38% conservative.
