First 100 days: Mr. Popular

In its write-up of the NBC/WSJ poll, the Wall Street Journal says Obama “is more popular than ever, Americans are hopeful about his leadership, and opposition Republicans are getting drubbed in public opinion… But there are also early warning signs showing risks if his plans don't show progress. The president's support, while still deep, looks increasingly partisan as Republicans move away from him. Americans have more confidence in the president himself than in some of his initiatives, such as the economic stimulus package, and have some hesitation about his plans to raise taxes to expand health coverage.”

Here is our write-up: “After Barack Obama's first six weeks as president, the American public's attitudes about the two political parties couldn't be more different, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds. Despite the country's struggling economy and vocal opposition to some of his policies, President Obama's favorability rating is at an all-time high. Two-thirds feel hopeful about his leadership and six in 10 approve of the job he's doing in the White House.”

More: “By comparison, the Republican Party -- which resisted Obama's recently passed stimulus plan and has criticized the spending in his budget -- finds its favorability at an all-time low. It also receives most of the blame for the current partisanship in Washington and trails the Democrats by nearly 30 percentage points on the question of which party could best lead the nation out of recession.”

Meanwhile, Obama’s approval rating in a new Quinnipiac poll is at 59%.

The AP says Obama will sign a presidential memo today that changes how government contracts are awarded -- “a move his aides say would save taxpayers about $40 billion a year by making the process more competitive.” More: “Obama's directive would order Peter Orszag, director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, to work with Cabinet and agency officials to draft new contracting rules by the end of September. Those new rules, officials said, would make it more difficult for contractors to bilk taxpayers and make some half-trillion dollars in federal contracts each year more accessible to independent contractors.”

The Washington Post is the latest to look into the Obama Team’s struggles to fill out its administration. “An intensified vetting process has left dozens of President Obama's picks to run the government mired in a seemingly endless confirmation limbo, frustrated and cut off from the departments they are waiting to serve and unable to perform their new duties… In recent days, two more of Obama's choices withdrew abruptly. Susan F. Tierney, who had been the leading candidate for the Energy Department's No. 2 official, said she was no longer interested. And Jane Garvey, a former Federal Aviation Administration chief who had been rumored to be the top choice for deputy transportation secretary, also said she was no longer a candidate.”
