TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - New president Barack Obama is almost as popular with Floridians as Gov. Charlie Crist.
A new poll released Thursday by Quinnipiac (Conn.) University showed 64 percent of 1,001 Florida voters surveyed said they liked the way Obama was handling the job, despite the furor over an economic stimulus package the Dewmocratic president signed into law Tuesday.
Only 23 percent said they disapproved of the way Obama was handling his duties.
Crist, a Republican, Crist had a 67 percent approval in the same poll with 22 percent unfavorable.
But voters were split on the stimulus package with 51 percent saying it will help get the economy on track while 49 percent said they weren't confident it would help.

A lots of us would disagree with this, I assosiate with a lost of local and lhave not heard anyone say anything positive about Charlie Crist but 1001 voter is not adequate size lot to justify this reported approval rating. I have never seen a poll for Crist- Mail out the ballots
