High Hopes of Obama

Most Americans believe that Obama is on track to succeed and are rather optimistic he can help to revive the economy according to an Associated Press – GfK poll.

Public expectations for his performance in office higher than any other incoming president in a generation. On the eve of his inauguration the poll found that 65% of those surveyed believe that Obama will be an above average president and 28% of those believe he will be outstanding.

In retrospect George W. Bush went in with 47%, Bill Clinton 56% and George H.W. Bush 38%.

While we are facing the hardest economic crisis since the”Great Depression” the poll found a broad optimism that Obama could help turn things around. 71% of those polled believe that the economy will improve during his 1st year in office; 65% said unemployment will go down; 72% said the stock market would be on the rise and 63% said their personal economic situation would improve.

Larson note: I am also looking with great anticipation and excitement to a President Obama. I love his infrastructure plan as a long time coming, Roads, bridges, rail (we need double track laid in many places), mass transit upgrades all needed 10 years ago but I’ll be happy to get those things underway next week, thank you.

And although I am (maybe) one of the few who can say that2008 was better than 2007 I am looking forward to an even better 2009. Prediction for Larson & Association would be a modest grown in gross sales of no less than 33% but would not be surprised with doubling our sales and doubling our staff.
