Obamas approval rating rose amid scandal, poll findsBy Michele Richinick at MSNBC
http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/obamas-approval-rating-rises-amid-scandal
"SNIP.........................
President Barack Obamas approval rating has increased in the past two months, despite a growing scandal within the Department of Veterans Affairs that led to now-former VA Secretary Eric Shinsekis resignation.
Forty-six percent of the public approves of Obamas job as president, up five points from late April, according to a Washington Post/ABC News poll published Tuesday. Fifty-one percent disapprove.
His current approval rating matches numbers from January and March of this year.
..........
But 43% of Americans said they trust Obama will handle the countrys main problems in the years ahead, compared with 38% who believe Republicans can do a better job. Forty-one percent of the public surveyed said Obama is not to blame for the VA problems, whereas 19% said he is responsible. The new poll was conducted among a random national sample of 1,002 adults between May 29 and June 1, the days surrounding Shinsekis resignation.

I think it's the Greenwald bump. GG comes to town, and POTUS' approval edges up.

Lies and bullshit don't last as long in today's world. Especially among the younger crowds. (Later 70's born and on)
I also suspect that this, deep down, is what a large part of what the net neutrality fight is really about.

"38% of Americans" are brainwashed.
