Day 22: What word would you use to describe Barack Obama?

— By Michelle Austein Brooks, 11 February 2009

A survey by the Pew Research Center for People & the Press asked Americans one simple question: what word would you use to describe Barack Obama?

What a difference a few months make! In September 2008, the top word was “inexperienced.” Today, the top word is “intelligent.”
