The big question after President Obama's blitz of five Sunday political talk shows (not to mention David Letterman's show): Is he overexposed?

A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll to be released later Tuesday says the answer is mostly no, though it depends on whether you are a Republican or Democrat.

Fifty-four percent say the amount of times they hear or see Obama is about right, 34 percent say they hear and see him too much, and 9 percent say too little.

Sixty-three percent of people who voted for Obama's 2008 opponent, Sen. John McCain, say they get too big a dose of Obama compared to 8 percent among Democrats who feel that way. Fifty-two percent of independents say his exposure is the right amount compared to 40 percent who say it's too much.

More on this poll later after it has aired on NBC Nightly News and posted on MSNBC.com.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
