Poll Tracker

While much has been written that some liberal Democrats have been disappointed with Barack Obama's cabinet picks and others worried that he'll pursue too centrist a course, a Gallup analysis of its data collected Nov. 5 through Dec. 28 says that 93 percent of this group are confident that Obama will be a good president. That view is held by 86 percent of moderate and conservative Democrats, 51 percent of liberal Republicans and 29 percent of conservative Republicans. In both groups of Republicans, those numbers have risen since election day.

When it comes to Obama's favorability rating, it stands at 96 percent among liberal Democrats, 91 percent among moderate Democrats and 90 percent among conservative Democrats. On the Republican side, 61 percent of moderate/liberal Republicans hold a favorable view of him, up from 48 percent in November, and 37 percent of conservatives see him favorably, up from 26 percent in November.
