Obma Riding High in Polls

President Obama is riding high in the most current polls after 6 weeks in the White House.

Even with the economic crisis, the massive spending ballooning deficit, the American Public are overwhelmingly supporting the President of Change.

Obama has found an uncanny knack of walking a tight rope with his policies versus his campaign rhetoric.

He has also managed to keep a majority of the Media in his corner.

The strangest part of the poll is that people overwhelmingly approve of the man but not his policies. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but it is a tremendous amount of political capital. He will need that capital as he pushes for more deficit spending.

The bad news for Republicans is that their message is getting lost in all of the squabbling between the wannabe leaders of the party and radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. They need to get together on the same page and start putting a plan together for 2010.

Democrats in Congress may also find the President's high numbers a bit troublesome. He is gaining political clout to push his agenda and they will be taking the heat for his policies when things go wrong.

We are only 6 weeks into this and things can change on a dime with the American Public. I would say that within 12 months you will have a solid idea of what the American Public is thinking for 2010. The President needs to be very careful of spending all of his political capital too early and find himself and his party in dire straits going into the election season of 2010.
