Over the last 5 months Obama's approval numbers have recovered, Romney's favorability numbers have taken a strong turn in the wrong direction, and Obama's opened up an 8 point lead in the state at 51-43.
Obama's 44/53 approval rating in the state has now flipped to positive territory at 50/46. Most notably what was a 42/53 breakdown with independents is now 55/40. He's seen smaller improvements with Democrats (from a 78% approval rating to 82%) and with Republicans (from a 6% approval to 12%).

(4,667 posts)It seems like all of the news has been good. Too good. McCain did have 47% last time. That is the starting point for the GOP in 2012.
Then again maybe I am wrong. Perhaps we are looking at 2008 all over again. I dearly hope so.
