Obama: Intelligent, Socialist and more
by Mark Silva
People use some words more lately than they did before when talking about Barack Obama, president of the United States.
Intelligent: 30 picked that word in an April survey, up from 20 in September.
Socialist: 20 said so in April, up from six in September.
The biggest gainer? Good: 29, up from six.
The folks at the Pew Research Center have put together a fun, interactive see-saw enabling you to mouse over the words that people use for the president and see how it's changed since September. This is sort of the water-cooler equivalent of a poll -- these aren't percentages we're talking about here, but actual numbers of people and the words they choose.
Fewer people call Obama arrogant -- nine in the April survey, up from four in September. Few call him "different'' -- and that hasn't changed much -- eight last fall, seven more recently.
There's one scale that has tipped considerably, however: 55 people called him "inexperienced'' in September. Only 13 said so in April.
But now, he is president.
