Poll: Most trust Obama's economic actions

The slime just isn't sticking no matter how hard they throw.

PRINCETON, N.J., April 13 (UPI) -- More than two-thirds of Americans asked expressed at least a fair amount of confidence in President Barack Obama's economic decisions, a Gallup poll indicated.

Seventy-one percent of Americans surveyed said they have a fair to great deal of confidence that Obama's economic actions, poll results released Monday indicated. The level of confidence is higher than that given to U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, or leaders of either party in Congress, the Princeton, N.J., polling agency said.

Obama received almost universal confidence from Democrats, two-thirds support from independents and just more than one-third from Republicans, Gallup said.
