Chuck Todd, speaking after Obama's presser (and btw, wasn't it great to have a president who could get through a press conference without smirking or leaning on the podium?), should know better than to repeat the canard that "Obama is losing the battle of public opinion on the stimulus." Particularly when Todd's own blog FirstRead, has this to say today in a post entitled "Obama's Sky-High Numbers":
-- 76% approve of the president's job
-- Obama's worst numbers seem to come from last week's Daschle news: 80% say Obama is doing a good job providing leadership for the country; 76% say he's doing a good job handling foreign policy; 72% say he's doing a good job handling the economy; 68% say he's doing a good job handling terrorism; and 61% say he's doing a good job choosing his cabinet
-- 60% approve the job congressional Democrats are performing, versus 44% who say the same of congressional Republicans
-- 74% say Obama is doing enough to cooperate with Republicans, while just 39% say the Republicans are doing enough to cooperate with Obama
-- 54% support the economic stimulus, versus 45% who oppose it
