Is Obama Having HIS Way Over Economic Stimulus Fight?

Obama and GOP Gallup Poll

Well, it certainly looks that way in this Gallup Poll, nothwithstanding the Rasmussen and CBS News polls that say otherwise. Mark Blumenthal over at Pollster has an explanation of the poll disparities.

Flap agrees with Allahpundit that the American public wants to see the government DO SOMETHING and will give President Obama (who, after all, has only been in office a few weeks) the benefit of the doubt.

However, the GOP has positioned itself well on the fight. Obama, Reid and Pelosi OWN this bill and if the economy does not rapidly improve they will pay the political price.

Of course, Senator Susan Collins, when the bill returns from a House Conference could vote the behemoth down if there is too much pork.

But, don’t count on it.
