The talking heads in D.C. are all agog over the Hill Republicans these days, summed up by a front page story in today's Washington Post noting "the glimmers of rebirth" seen by the Hill Republicans because of their insurgent tactics and the continued domination of Republican members of Congress on cable news. Just shows how far out of touch the corporate political media is, because the American people don't see it that way. Not even close:
The American public gives President Barack Obama a strong 67% approval rating for the way in which he is handling the government's efforts to pass an economic stimulus bill, while the Democrats and, in particular, the Republicans in Congress receive much lower approval ratings of 48% and 31%, respectively.
That's 67% for Obama. 31% for the Congressional Republicans.
