@solomon: Honestly, much of the current "popularity" polls are a little unimportant...right now at least. Besides some of the polls detailing what Americans think are the msot important issues (and other issue based polls), these popularity polls will not actually matter until 2010 and then, most importantly, in the 2012 race. Since the Recovery Package/Stimulus Bill is really supposed to take effect in 2010 and finish by 2012 (therebouts), people's opinion of Obama, and their local governors/representatives/senators, will undoubtedly increase in those years quite a bit. Consequently, the current Republican strategy is to try and cut off as much of the Independent support as they can early on, and hope none of them decide to go back in the years to come (after the economy starts chugging along again).
@LynnieS: I partially agree. I would also rate Obama as about a C (average) currently, but my rating is mostly due to the fact that he is not properly handling the discussion/agenda he wishes to enact, instead letting himself be side-tracked by pointless issues and not fully explaining what he wants or why what he wants can be "good" (not to say that everything in his agenda is "good") for the country/people. That being said, even if he could take full command over the discussion, I would still only rate him a B- to a B, considering that several of his policies are still fairly weak.
