As Obama prepares to work with the new Republican majority in the U.S. House this January, a new CNN Poll of Polls indicates that the public is split over his handling of duties in the White House. Overall, 47 percent of Americans approve of how Obama is handling his job and 48 percent disapprove, according to the Poll of Polls which was compiled and released on Friday.

Politics as usual. Everything and everyone is always split on issues in America and how are president is doing. Dont get me wrong here i mean its great to have an opinion on what goes on this country but it seems to they way the things are run and the way of thinking by most people is flawed. Nothing every gets done in this country these days. When ever something is done people either criticize it or go with with based on the things they are told by the media. This particular story has to with political parties because this is a perfect example of two major parties fighting each other. And yes i am speculating that majority of the people who took this poll were either a Democrat or a Republican. But this is how the country is run a power struggle between to factions to get what they want done...im not sure if its funny or ironic that the opposite usually happens.
