This is comforting news...

"
President Obama has garnered widespread support for his early actions in office, but Americans strongly oppose the commander-in-chief's first two executive orders -- allowing federal funding for overseas abortions and closing Guantanamo -- according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday.
 
Fifty-eight percent of Americans said they disagreed with the president's decision to give overseas funding to family planning organizations that provide abortions, according to the survey taken between Friday and Sunday. Thirty-five percent supported it.
 
Obama signed an order Jan. 23 reversing the "Mexico City policy" -- a prohibition first implemented by Ronald Reagan, which forbade the U.S. government from sending money to overseas family-planning organizations that perform abortions or offer abortion counseling.  The ban, which was lifted when Bill Clinton took office, was later re-established by George W. Bush in 2001.
 
The poll also found that more Americans -- 50 percent to 44 percent --oppose the president's decision to close the Guantanamo Bay prison for terror suspects within in a year.
 
Obama's executive orders are especially unpopular among Republicans.  Only eight percent said they approve the president's decision to fund overseas abortions, while 11 percent said they agree with his order to shut down Guantanamo.

Both orders were also least popular among Democrats, though most surveyed said they approved of the president's decisions.

Despite clear disapproval to the two executive orders, an overwhelming majority of Americans said they supported the president's first actions as president.
 
Seventy-four percent favored Obama's position to lift interrogation techniques on prisoners, while 76 percent said they agreed with the decision to name special envoys to the Middle East, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
 
Seventy-six percent also said the agreed with Obama's decision to tighten ethics rules for administration officials. And 66 percent said they agree with his effort to make it easier for workers to sue for pay discrimination.
"

I hope that Obamas popularity fades quickly. Then we will see how the Emperor with no clothes really looks. He is a liberal socialist who doesn't know what the heck he is doing in the office of president.

It's a Fox poll and is likely to have a Republican bias to it.

C.F.,

No its a Gallup poll...

Of course Gallup uses this to show that Americans support Obama, except for these two areas... Guantanamo & Abortion funding...
