That's according to the latest AP-Gfk poll. Y'know, that's the one that came out this week and was promptly ignored by the press because it found Obama's approval rating to be a robust 53 percent. (Not the much newsier 42 percent.)

Well, also contained within those polling results was the revelation that 84 percent of Americans consider Obama to be a likable person. And if that's not a complete rejection of Fox News and its attempt to vilify Obama, I don't know what is.

Because remember, Fox News' anti-Obama blitzkrieg, which numbingly cranks itself up every day for relentless, and often petty attacks, no longer even revolves around questions of policy. Like most of the ODS-suffering right-wing media, Fox News seems to spend more time attacking Obama as a person (he's racist and arrogant and foreign and shallow, etc.) than it does attacking Obama as a political leader or politician.

Fox News' blind pursuit of Obama has become almost comically personal as they portray the President of the United States as a monstrous figure in American history.

Turns out though, that strategy is a complete non-starter. Far from despising and detesting him, Americans overwhelmingly think Obama is likable. They don't all necessarily approve of the job he's doing as president. But after two years in office, and despite the best effort of the Fox News haters, Obama maintains an extraordinarily cordial relationship with Americans.
