Well, at least Democrat support is higher as President Obama makes his case with his homeys.

Obama’s salesmanship appears to have been effective in recent days, helping to build public support for the economic stimulus package, and thus push Congress to pass a final version by his desired Presidents Day deadline. At the least, he has stemmed any erosion of support in the face of some spirited conservative opposition. While most of the increase in support is among Democrats, the plan retains solid support from independents and has not lost any ground recently among Republicans.

Remember, American voter public opinion is fickle and performance related.
