Obama gains ground among Republicans

Sat, 28 Feb 2009 18:20:49 GMT


President Barack Obama's popularity among Republicans is on the rise following his nationally televised address to Congress, a poll says.

The poll conducted by Gallup, released on Friday, showed that there has been a sharp increase in support among Republicans, from 27 percent to 42.

Obama's speech to Congress was well-received in the nation and among politicians on both sides of the aisle.

In his address, the president inspired Americans to "rebuild" and change the policies that drove the country into an economic meltdown.

Independents' approval of Obama, following the address, has climbed back to 62 percent following a drop to 54 percent over the past week.

His public support also increased significantly to 67 percent in Feb. 24-26 Gallup Daily polling after a term-low fifty nine percent reported by Gallup on Tuesday.

Democrats' support for Obama was already extremely high at 86%, but the inspiring address drove the popularity to 90 percent.
