AP-Gfk poll: Obama approval hits 60 percent

Some good news,to put a smile on to start your day.




President Barack Obama's approval rating has hit its highest point in two years — 60 percent — and more than half of Americans now say he deserves to be re-elected, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll taken after U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.

In worrisome signs for Republicans, the president's standing improved not just on foreign policy but also on the economy, and independent Americans — a key voting bloc in the November 2012 presidential election — caused the overall uptick in support by sliding back to Obama after fleeing for much of the past two years.

Comfortable majorities of the public now call Obama a strong leader who will keep America safe. Nearly three-fourths — 73 percent — also now say they are confident that Obama can effectively handle terrorist threats. And he improved his standing on Afghanistan, Iraq and the United States' relationships with other countries.

Now if the Democrats on the Hill can capitalize on this.

Not flamebating but seriously, the Blue Dogs and
DLC of the Democratic Party need to take notice.
Are they going to insist on voting with Republicans?
Cut Cut Cut may not be sitting well with your
rank and file back home. There are rank and file
Republicans who are not happy with the track their
party is on. Think about it.
