That's the percentage of American people who "have a great deal or a fair amount of confidence in President Obama to do or recommend the right thing for the economy." Most striking here is that 68% of Independents are on board this Obama confidence train. So, now can we lay to rest the disingenuous Beltway meme that Obama is the most polarizing president ever? As Greg Sargent notes, the only polarization happening in America right now "continues to be driven largely by increasing Republican isolation." If only that Republican isolation would translate into less media time, then we'd be making progress.
