37% Give Obama Positive Marks on Taxes
With more voters than ever thinking taxes will go up under President Obama, the president is earning slightly more negative reviews for his handling of the taxes issue.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 37% of Likely U.S. Voters now rate the way the president is handling issues related to taxes as good or excellent. That's down seven points from 44% in late January. Forty-three percent (43%) think he is doing a poor job in this area, comparable to last month's findings but up four points from 39% in January.
