Abortion Doesn't Go Over Well
The Corner on National Review Online —
... ] From Gallup : Obama's decision to reverse the prohibition on funding for overseas family-planning providers may be the least popular thing he has done so far. This was an executive order that forbade federal government money from going to overseas family-planning groups that provide abortions or offer abortion counseling. Fifty-eight percent of Americans disapprove of Obama's decision to lift this ban, while only 35% approve of it. The ban on federal funds to these groups was put in place by Ronald Reagan, but lifted by Bill Clinton. George W. Bush re-instituted the ban after ...

Politics Daily —
... There is real political danger for the Obama Administration in the lobbyist exceptions. A recent Gallup Poll of President Obama's first seven acts as president showed that 76% support his anti-lobbyist stance. Should the Administration's routine breaking of that popular campaign pledge become more widely known, it could dampen public support for other parts of President Obama's agenda.

Such is the case ...

Consider the following data released by Gallup Monday: The public does not agree with everything Obama has done, however. For example, more Americans say they disapprove (50%) than approve (44%) of his decision to order the closing ...

The Rude Pundit — ... "Poll: Americans Oppose Obama's First Two Executive Orders," it talks about a Gallup poll where, by huge numbers, Americans support nearly everything Barack Obama has done so far.

... legislation itself, that would require them to indict the entire Democratic party and the liberal interest groups that dictate to it. But, apparently the left is prepared to concede that Obama's first two weeks have been a failure, in Hirsh's words "a Pickett's Charge -- without the benefit of being led by Pickett."
