Poll: Americans More Optimistic After Inauguration

WASHINGTON (AP) ― A new poll shows that three out of four American people feel more optimistic about the country's future now that Barack Obama has been inaugurated president.

The Associated Press-Knowledge Networks poll also showed that even among Republicans, just 29 percent of those surveyed felt more pessimistic with Obama at the White House - roughly the same number as the 30 percent of GOP people who said they felt more optimistic.

A smaller proportion of those who said they saw or heard his inaugural address - 51 percent - called it good.

The poll was conducted Tuesday and involved online interviews with 835 adults. It has a samling error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
