A new national poll suggests that President Barack Obama is personally more popular than his policies. The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll released Monday, two days before Obama marks 100 days in the White House, indicates that three in four Americans feel Obama has the personal qualities a president should have.

This service brings in extra representatives for a business and eases the lives of the customers.
