CNN's "report card" on the second one hundred days of the Obama administration is interesting. Almost every category in the report – including the behavior of the media – received poor to failing grades.
However, "votes" submitted to form the report card were cast by a minuscule portion of the population so it's hard to take the statistics too seriously. For example, only 8,384 people voiced their opinion on President Obama's second one hundred days in office (rendering a C+ average grade).
Other "grades" included the performance of the Democratic Party in Congress (57% in the right direction based on 1,010 votes) and Republican leaders in Congress (53% in the wrong direction based on 1,010 votes).
As for President Obama personally, 72% of 1,026 votes indicate he inspires confidence while 53% felt he has clear plans for solving the country's problems.
The report card perhaps gives a hint of public evaluation, although I would be more apt to take it seriously if the number of participants numbered in the millions rather than the thousands.
