According to a USA Today/Gallup poll out today, 62 percent of respondents echoed one of the primary buzzwords of the campaign, telling pollsters they were more hopeful following President Obama's inaugural ceremony. That's nearly 20 percentage points more than the poll recorded immediately following George W. Bush's second inauguration in 2005.
An Associated Press/Knowledge Networks poll [PDF], conducted in part online, echoed Gallup's findings. A full seven in 10 respondents said the inauguration made them feel hopeful. Not surprisingly, Democrats felt more positive about the inauguration than Republicans. It wasn't all fun and games for the winning party, though. While only 6 percent of GOP members felt overwhelmed, nearly a quarter of Democrats said they felt that way.
Former presidential speechwriters contacted by NationalJournal.com after Obama's address generally gave him high marks on his performance, a judgment the public seemed to share. More than 90 percent of those polled by AP and just over 80 percent in the Gallup rated the new president's speech as either good or excellent.
