Via Dave Weigel, I see a new Rasmussen poll showing support for the stimulus package jumping 7 points to 44 percent from 37 percent a week ago. Rasmussen’s polls have tended to show support for the bill as being weaker than Gallup, but what’s important here is the trend. President Obama launched a PR campaign complete with interviews, an op-ed, two town hall meetings, and a prime time press conference, and appears to have boosted support for the legislation. More reason to make sure that as conservatives, we don’t get ahead of ourselves.
