Poll-itics: Obama gets sky high approval, leadership ratings; Republicans? Not so much

By GottaLaff

Apparently, newly anointed GOP leader Rush Limbaugh is having a real effect on Prez O's poll numbers-- a positive one:

The latest CNN/Opinion Research poll finds President Obama with sky high approval ratings and very similar to the Gallup poll released earlier today.

Obama gets an amazing 76% approval rating with 80% saying he's is doing a good job providing leadership for the country. Even 61% say he's doing a good job choosing his cabinet, though he's obviously had some problems with his appointments lately.

Republican leaders need to pay attention to their own numbers: 60% approve the job congressional Democrats are performing, versus 44% who say the same of congressional Republicans. In addition, 74% say Obama is doing enough to cooperate with Republicans, while just 39% say the Republicans are doing enough to cooperate with him.

Who are those 39%? The Republicans haven't so much as budged, and 39% think that's cooperating? They give a whole new meaning to the word "lenient". I'm guessing those same people encourage their toddlers to throw oatmeal at Denny's food servers, and reward their teens for shooting out car windows with BB guns.
