CNN Poll: Obama More Popular Than the Stimulus

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll shows 76% of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling his job as president, while 23% disapprove.

A smaller majority, 54%, favor the $800 billion stimulus package the president is trying to get pushed through Congress, with 45% opposed. As you might expect, support breaks down along partisan lines: 75% of Democrats support the stimulus, 51% of Independents, but just 32% of Republicans.
