By a wide margin American's are still expressing strong support for President Elect Obama. Both is this forum and in the real population the naysayers are in the distinct minority. Americans Remain Confident in Obama as President
PRINCETON, NJ -- Between 63% and 67% of Americans have said they are confident in Barack Obama's ability to be a good president in the weeks since his election on Nov. 4, a sentiment that doesn't yet appear to be have been affected, positively or negatively, by news coverage of the president-elect's staff and Cabinet appointments, or by reports of his economic and other policy plans.
Notably, the percentage of Americans who are confident in his ability to be a good president substantially exceeds his share of the vote (53%) in the November election.
Seems like the Bots were on the right side of history in this election and certainly one would be hard pressed to believe the McCain transition would have been this well received.
And the read on Rasmussen and his performance to date?
Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election. (http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/obama_administration/daily_presidential_approval_index - broken link)
Three weeks after his November 4 victory, President-elect Barack Obama’s ratings have reached a new high at the same time that investor confidence has fallen to record lows. Ratings for Congress improved a point following the legislators’ rejection of an auto-industry bailout.
Those figures give Obama a +23 rating in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Approval Index. That’s a point higher than his previous best and up fifteen points since the night after the election (see trends).
That is what you call a positive trend. Helps to see which posters views are in the majority and which are in the minority with the real world.

I would HOPE that Americans still have confidence in him - he hasn't done anything yet! In fact, he's not even President for almost 2 more months!
There must be a LOT of people with WAY too much time on their hands.
Yup and they are called pollsters and the measure sentiment and compare it to previous presidential transitions.
Bloomberg.com: Worldwide
“The market has very bad economic data coming out, but layered onto that is renewed optimism from the Obama nominations that are being rolled out daily,” said Robert Lutts, president of Cabot Money Management in Boston, which oversees about $400 million. “Eternal hope is being poured into that vessel, that this team is going to rescue us.”
Maybe after eight years of Bush we have forgotten the potential of and for leadership.
PS retirement also gives many of us time to digest and discuss the relevance of topics we are interested in.

How can you be retired, after Bush destroyed the economy and stole all the money from the regular people and gave it to the rich?
