Obama can save us, says America as polls show wave of optimism sweeping 
the nation

Barack Obama moves into the White House on Tuesday amid a surge of 
optimism that he can turn America's battered fortunes around. 

The President-elect went back on the campaign trail yesterday to try to 
convince the public that his new £565billion rescue package will revive 
the U.S. economy. 

He was hoping to win grassroots support by meeting workers in Cleveland, 
Ohio, in the industrial Midwest. 

Mr Obama has already scored his first big victory in Congress, winning 
Senate approval on Thursday to spend the second half of the Wall Street 
bailout fund. 

If his new rescue package is passed as expected in mid-February, he will 
have an unprecedented war chest to use against the most dramatic slide 
in the U.S. economy since the 1930s. 

The incoming president has a lot to live up to, with polls suggesting 
that the public has higher expectations of him than for any recent U.S. 
president. 

According to a survey published last night, 71 per cent of Americans 
believe the economy will improve during the first year of the Obama 
presidency and 65 per cent said they think unemployment will drop. 

Asked about cash-strapped Wall Street, 72 per cent said they thought the 
stock market would recover. 

Some 63 per cent were confident that their personal financial situation 
would improve.

'He cannot not succeed. He has to succeed because the world really 
depends on him right now,'  said Richard Kern, 51, who works in a 

'We're all hanging in by the treads of our shoes, waiting for the 
economy to break. We need good news.'
There was solid 

Respondents also gave the President-elect high marks for his leadership 
skills and empathy, particularly for the concerns of the middle class.
Even Ronald Reagan, who won a landslide victory over President Jimmy 
Carter in 1980 during another period of economic uncertainty, was viewed 
more sceptically than Obama before his inauguration. 

Mr Obama is having a tougher time selling his plan to politicians in 
Washington, however. 

Both Democrats and Republicans are concerned about spending more 
taxpayers' cash so soon after a £480billion Wall Street bailout was 
ushered through Congress in November. 

Aides say Mr Obama is now trying a different tack to get the bill passed  
-  by appealing directly to voters.
