A survey conducted in September found BP's (NYSE:BP) image is starting to become more positive as time goes on following the stopping of the oil well from leaking into the Gulf of Mexico.
Those participating in the survey were asked to state what their feelings were about the company.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found 12 percent of respondents felt either "very positive" (3 percent) or "somewhat positive" (9 percent) about the company.
A large percentage (24 percent) were "neutral" toward BP when asked. That's not that bad when added together. Not that many people would think 36 percent of those on a survey aren't feeling bad toward the oil giant.
On the negative side, 20 percent said they were feeling "somewhat negative" toward the company, and 30 percent were still feeling "very negative" toward them. The other 14 percent decided not to make a choice one way or the other.
In contrast to a prior survey in June when TV and Internet viewers were able to watch the undersea cameras recording the oil spewing into the ocean, a much larger 44 percent were "very negative," and 23 percent were "somewhat negative."
So on the negative side, it has dropped from 67 percent to 50 percent for BP. Definitely good news for them and an improvement.
