Yeah, I was afraid of that, but couldn't think of a better way to get the point across with a single poll question. I don't think the poll thingie has an option to split it out like you suggest. Even if it did, it's not like this sort of thing is scientific at all.
I'm more interested in people's actual responses than the results of the poll itself. Don't take my OP the wrong way - I still think he's far, far better than Bush was, or McCain would've been. And for most things I think he's doing fine...I just can't help being very disappointed by the executive power/secrecy issues I mentioned. We had a hint of that when he backed telecom immunity last summer, but I couldn't help but Hope that his position there was a fluke.
