CNN/ORC Poll: Obama Ends Year On An Upswing

Source: CNN


STORY HIGHLIGHTS
New poll shows Obama's approval rating at 20-month high
Americans starting to feel positive about economy
More Americans still disapprove of Obama's job performance than approve

Honolulu (CNN) -- Improving views of the economy have helped hike President Barack Obama's approval rating to a 20-month high, a new CNN/ORC poll showed Tuesday, as markets climbed to record levels at news of an economy in overdrive.

More Americans still disapprove of the job Obama is doing as President. But at 48%, Obama's approval rating is at its highest point in CNN polling since May 2013.

The gains were driven by newfound backing among women, independents and millennials — groups where Obama's approval numbers jumped 10 percentage points from a month ago.

It is a tsunami of good news for Obama, lately.

Enjoy your golf game, sir. Keep up swinging away, your head level.

In Maui...I am SO jealous.

2. Notice the "more Americans still disapprove of Obama's job approval" snark, as if it also increased.

The mass media is shocked and awed by what is happening lately, they can not believe their propganda campaign against the President is unravelling, and so quickly.

Tuesday's CNN/ORC poll showed for the first time in seven years, a majority of Americans — 51% — have a positive view of the economy, a sharp increase from the 38% who felt that way in October.

The jump was present in every demographic group — men, women, whites, non-whites, urban, rural — and was largest among Americans who earn less than $50,000 annually.

8. But .. the improving economy is entirely due to GW Bush's policies

There is a lag remember? Just as Reagan's policies improved the economy during Bill Clinton's presidency.

and their "just say no" leadership that's propelling the positive outlook. Hard to fathom what an infrastructure stimulus fix would do for this nation - instead of POURING on cash in bottomless pit foreign nations.
