A number of new polls have shown that the American public has positive views of President Obama’s response to the damage along the eastern seaboard caused by Hurricane Sandy.
A UPI poll released Saturday showed 77 percent of Americans had a positive take on Obama’s response to the storm and an additional 65 percent thought “the destructive storm and its aftermath gave the president a chance to connect better with voters,” the news service wrote. An ABC News/Washington Post national tracking poll released on Wednesday of last week also found 78 percent of likely voters had a positive view of the president’s efforts. A pair of swing state polls released Saturday from NBC/Marist showed the same thing — 70 percent of likely voters in Florida and 73 percent of likely voters in Ohio approved of the response.
