Apparently not, as Kevin Drum points out from Mother Jones (citing the latest NY Times Poll):
This is, of course, a simple factual question with a simple factual answer: Obama has lowered taxes for virtually all Americans. Unfortunately, hardly anyone knows it.In other news, people hate Democrats but hate Republicans even more; they're unsure if Obama has a clear plan for solving the nation's problems but they're absolutely sure Republicans don't; they think Democrats have better ideas than Republicans; they think Democrats are more likely than Republicans to help the middle class and small businesses; they blame George Bush and Wall Street for the crappy economy; they think the stimulus package probably improved the economy; they support Obama's plan to allow Bush's tax cuts for the rich to expire; they think Obama is doing more to improve the economy than congressional Republicans; and they hate Sarah Palin and are less likely to vote for anyone she supports.
Last but not least is this comment by Kevin:
Oh, and they're going to kick Democrats out of office this November anyway. Bummer, guys.
Yup - should be an interesting next two months...
