Poll Shows More People Think Future Brighter
WASHINGTON -- Three out of four American people feel more optimistic about the country's future now that Barack Obama has been inaugurated president, a new poll showed.
The Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll also showed that even among Republicans, just 29 percent of those surveyed felt more pessimistic with Obama at the White House -- roughly the same number as the 30 percent of GOP people who said they felt more optimistic.
A smaller proportion of those who said they saw or heard his inaugural address -- 51 percent -- called it good.
