Keeping Track of Barack for another 348 days


Day 49: Still the popular guy that gets all the girls

Average Reading Time: less than a minute.

A small but interesting footnote is that Obama is currently favored 69 over 23, according to an average from a large bunch of polls over at RealClearPolitics. Gallup positioned him at a stunning 72/19 according to that site.

So if we had a sister site called How is Obama doing, it would currently read: pretty damn well.

Gallups own website has made some other neat statistics as well.

There has been a sharp increase in support among Republicans, from 27% to 42%.

Democrats are, non-surprisingly, major cheerleaders and has now toppled up to the stunning 90% figure.
