Conservatives Push Back on Stimulus

It’s Friday, February 20, 2009. Here is what we’re looking at:

Is the push-back working?

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll shows that President Obama’s approval rating has dropped about 10 points this month. Yet he still stands strong with 67% job approval.
