Here's another set of numbers we're releasing from our new NBC/WSJ poll: A combined 81% say they personally like President Obama, including 30% who say they like him but not his policies.America lerves President Obama, but America and the Rushpublics simply do not get along. Nope, not a good match at all.Indeed, in a very long list of Obama's attributes in the poll, his highest scores are on matters of personality, demeanor, and leadership. Here are his highest scores from respondents (on a five-point scale) in descending order:
-- 82% give him a 4 or 5 on his personality and the kind of family man he is
-- 81% give him a 4 or 5 on being easygoing and likeable
-- 69% on being inspirational and exciting
-- 68% on having strong leadership qualities
-- 67% on being compassionate enough to understand average people
-- 65% on being firm and decisive in decision-making
-- 64% on being honest and straightforward
-- 63% on improving America's image around the world
-- 62% on being willing to work with people whose viewpoints are different from his own
-- 60% on achieving his goals
-- 57% on uniting the country
-- 56% on bringing real change to the country
-- 56% on being knowledgeable and experienced enough
-- 55% on representing traditional American values
-- 55% on being a good commander-in-chief
-- 54% on having the ability to handle a crisis
-- 48% on sharing your positions on the issues
-- 47% on changing business as usual in Washington
-- 47% on appointing qualified people to serve in government positions
They should avoid dating at all costs, because it would end badly, most likely with the Rushpublics acting like boors, embarrassing themselves, and then taking off without warning without paying the check.
Kind of like this guy.
