Good economic news bounce must be here. Time for Obama to start putting out the positive ads, he needs to start early.

While I doubt that the 'Halftime in America' ad was meant to be seen as such (partly because while Clint Eastwood's politics may be many things, some of them admirable, conventional American liberalism has never seemed to be one of them), there may be something to the idea that it's having this sort of effect.

It could be that within a few years conservatism will reappear vastly different from what it is now. The contemporary Right that has absorbed demagoguery and irrationality may be on its way out.

Obama is more likely to tread water around ~49-52%, with a few blips in either direction, than start going downhill again unless the economy gets shot to Hell again (or become as popular as he was at the start of his term, for that matter). He's such a known quantity that 'spin' around him is pretty much pointless at this point, and campaignwise he can give as much as he can get, in terms of money and organization. Expecting him to improve much beyond a few points above water is also ridiculous, though.

lol Gallup

People were just praising it when Obama was up.

But, as I say:  If you don't like the Gallup numbers, just wait a few days.  Smiley

The Gallup weekly numbers are more important and they are more important for historical comparison.

I ignore Gallup, and have done since they recorded a swing of something like 16% in a week... which, without extraordinary events, is just rubbish...

IBOPE Zogby Poll: Obama Approval and National Direction Continue Improvement

The IBOPE Zogby interactive poll of likely voters conducted from January 27-30 also finds Obama’s job approval at 46%, the highest since June 2011. The percentage saying Obama deserves re-election is 41%, which is slightly more than it has been over the past few months, but eight points more than its low of 33% in September, 2011.
Favorable ratings for each are as follows: Obama 48%, Rick Santorum 39%, Mitt Romney 37%, Ron Paul 37% and Newt Gingrich 32%.
While a majority of voters still say the nation is “on the wrong track” (59%), this is the lowest such total since May 2011. The number saying the nation is headed in the right direction is now 33%.
