Gallup Poll: Obama's ability to be good president!

[bk1983]

PRINCETON, NJ -- The extent to which Barack Obama is experiencing a post-election wave of good will from Americans is evident in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking results, from Nov. 9-11, in which close to half of political conservatives -- 45% -- say they are "confident in his ability to be a good president." About the same percentage (46%) disagree.

Naturally, self-described liberals are overwhelmingly positive about the outlook for Obama's success (88% are confident), as are most political moderates (72%). These figures are roughly in line with these groups' candidate preferences right before Election Day. According to Gallup's final pre-election polling from Oct. 31-Nov. 2, 94% of liberals and 62% of moderates supported Obama for president.

The surprise is that conservatives are evenly divided in their forecasts for Obama's presidency. The 45% who now say they are confident in Obama's ability to be a good president contrasts with the mere 23% of this group who supported him over John McCain in the election.

This relatively strong endorsement from conservatives boosts overall confidence in Obama well beyond the 53% of the national vote he received on Election Day. Overall, 65% of Americans now say they are confident Obama will be a good president, while only 27% are not confident and 8% are unsure.
