Americans Not Buying GOP's Ginned-up 'Scandals' - Obama's Approval Up

[John Manning]

-- President Barack Obama was riding high in a new
opinion poll released on Sunday showing that 53 percent
of Americans approve of the way he’s doing his job, despite
a flurry of recent scandals.

The survey of 923 adults by CNN and the ORC International
polling organization found that 45 percent of respondents
disapprove of Obama’s job performance.

In early April, the same poll gave the president a 51 percent
approval rating, showing that Obama is holding steady despite
a brutal week in which the White House attempted to control damage
from three simultaneous scandals which threatened to derail his agenda.

The White House last week was forced to respond to controversy
over the administration’s response to last year’s fatal attack on
a US mission in Benghazi, Libya; government subpoenas of phone
records belonging to the Associated Press news agency; and
revelations that federal tax authorities had singled out
conservative groups for special scrutiny.

Republicans have used the affairs to accuse the Obama
administration of being guilty of a massive abuse of power,
which the White House denies.

The polls showed that most Americans believe the scandals are
either “somewhat important” or “very important,” but for the time
being were giving Obama the benefit of the doubt.

The survey was conducted on Friday and Saturday and had a
sampling error of plus or minus three percentage points.

Although I usually not impressed by the intelligence of the average
American, this is good news. If you drew a Venn diagram of the people who
are believing the "scandals", and the people who think that Fox News is
"Fair and Balanced", they would overlap completely.
