West Chester’s John Boehner, the U.S. House Speaker, is not exactly getting a vote of confidence from Americans on his handling of the so-called ‘fiscal cliff.’
A poll out Wednesday showed only 26 percent of Americans approve of Boehner’s handling of the fiscal cliff – compared to 54 percent who approve of President Barack Obama’s handling of it.
In general, Gallup notes, numbers for Obama and the Democrats are headed up; Boehner and the Republicans are languishing.
Americans are also getting more pessimistic that Congressional leaders will reach a deal with the White House to avoid the cliff.
