Obama's approval rating is around 70% in my estimate. if he wants to keep it that way and gain the trust of those who didn't vote for him, he needs to give every impression he honors the current structure of government.
Actually it's 40% positive, 30% negative, according to Rasmussen (I think that's the pollster).
That's 40% "very positive" and 30% "very negative", except it's changed to 41-29 today and will probably continue changing in Obama's favor for at least a week or so. Including the somewhats it was something like 56-44.
Anyway, so long as the President-elect has an office, there's an office of the President-elect. Or am I missing something?
