According to the recent survey conducted by the Washington Post and the ABC News Television on the occasion of completing 100 days in the office by President Barack Obama, he still enjoys the popular support of the majority of American population.69 percent approves the manner in which Obama performs in his own office; 42 percent "strongly" approves his cadency. The disapproval is expressed by 26 percent in the survey. 63 percent is of the opinion that Obama reached "enormously a lot" (24 percent) or "pretty much" (39 percent) during the three months of his presidency. 54 percent said that the president exceeded their expectations.
Two thirds of Americans were well pleased with the foreign policy of Obama. This rate went up especially after Obama’s travel to Europe.
71 percent is satisfied about President Obama's policy in Iraq (government taking army back to USA). 63 percent approves the administration's decision on Afghanistan; 61 in the matter of Cuba, and 62 percent in the fight against the terrorism.
The Obama's economic policy is supported by 58 percent of Americans; 38 percent didn’t approve it.
On the whole the support of Obama in the domestic and international policy is twice greater than the support of Republicans in Congress during the presidency of George W. Bush.
Many Americans disagree with President Obama who announced that the documents describing brutal methods of suspected interrogations of the terrorists would be made public. These methods were carried out by CIA during the cadency of president George Bush. For many people these amounted to torture. 53 percent of those who were surveyed support Obama's announcement and 44 percent said that these documents should not have “come to light”.
Do these percentages say the truth? Although I am skeptical about these surveys and the facts and figures that they present yet I am impressed by the performance of Obama. So my best wishes are with him.
