According to a Quinnipiac University survey, Americans like President Obama more than his policies: "Three-quarters of American voters--74%--like President Barack Obama as a person, but only 47% like most of his policies, and voters disapprove 51 - 35 percent of the health care overhaul passed by the House of Representatives which he has endorsed. . . . Given four choices to describe their feelings about the President, American voters say:
- 46 percent like Obama as a person and like most of his policies;
- 28 percent like him as a person, but don't like most of his policies;
- 1 percent like his policies, but don't like him as a person;
- 20 percent don't like him or his policies.
'Most Americans like
President Barack Obama and might like to have a beer with him,' said Peter
Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. 'But
millions of voters who sided with him last November because they thought he
would bring change to Washington aren't crazy about the kind of change he is
trying to bring.'"
