Obama Administration Gets Negative Marks in First 100 Days
Full Story

President personally popular; proposals & appointees aren't

WASHINGTON, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent CNN/Opinion Research Poll shows that President Obama continues to enjoy 63 percent approval rating. His cabinet choices and their proposals are a disappointment to Americans, however, according to a Zogby International/O'Leary Report 100-Days Poll.

The poll covered a broad range of questions from frozen credit markets and gun control to energy and media diversity. "Sooner or later the public's opposition to the President's proposals will eventually take its toll on his job approval numbers. The dichotomy between President Obama's personal popularity and his unpopular proposals cannot continue. How long will the President ride a wave of popularity if his objectives are out-of-synch with most Americans?" asked Brad O'Leary, president and publisher of The O'Leary Report and author of Shut Up, America! The End of Free Speech (WND Books).



Results of the Zogby International/O'Leary Report Poll reveal fissures in the Obama Administration's agenda:

Obama's anti-gun duo of Attorney General Eric Holder and Rahm Emanuel, the President's Chief of Staff continue to call for gun control.

Q. Do you think new gun laws should be passed or do you think we should
enforce the laws already on the books.

New gun laws should be passed 25%
Enforce the laws already on the books 71%
Not sure 4%



Rahm Emanuel recently told the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence that he'd take on the NRA in a proposal to make everyone on the "No-Fly" ineligible to buy a gun.

Q. The President's Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, recently stated that
the 1 million people the government put on the "no fly" list should be
prohibited from purchasing a gun, even if they are not guilty of a
felony or crime and they may not even be the correct person who is
targeted by the list. With respect to the "no fly" list which statement
do you support - A or B?

A: People on the no fly list should be prohibited from buying a gun
B: People on the no-fly list should be prohibited from buying a gun only
if they are convicted of a crime


Statement A 20%
Statement B 69%
Not sure 11%



Q. The Department of Homeland Security recently issued a report to
850,000 law enforcement officers that focused on the potential terrorist
threat from disgruntled veterans and people dedicated to a single issue,
such as abortion and the Second Amendment. Do you think these groups
are...?

This statement is inappropriate and these people
are not a threat to America 58%

This is a good warning and these people are dangerous 27%
No opinion 15%


The article is longer with non-gun related stuff too. Its worth checking out.Full Story
