If you track poll numbers on Real Clear Politics, Rasmussen has the highest overall approval for Obama. How can he have him 5 points higher than Gallup who only polls 'adults' and not 'likely voters'??

Beyond belief...

GOP is blowing it. Scaring senile citizens and disappointing Tea Party.

He won his liberal base back by going out and singing the same old Progressive song about “tax the rich” yesteray.

In 1986, 1991 and 1993 the Progressive Democrats in Congress made the same pledge 0 did yesterday. Give us more tax money and we will cut the deficit. In 1986, 1991 and 1993 Taxpayers coughed up the money and the Congress increased spending exponentially and the tax payers got more debt then ever.

0 is merely signing the 4th verse of the same old DC Progressive song. It is just another lie.

How about this time we try something that has NEVER been tried by DC, we try to balance the budget strictly on budget cuts with NO tax increases?

Giving more tax money to DC is the equivalent of giving a heroin addict free drugs thinking it will “cure” his addiction

I predict the mainstream news media will outdo itself in propoganda and lies department this campaign season.

They really have their work cut out for them, putting lipstick on Obama's first term PIG. Get ready for some epic whoppers.

Does this reflect Obama regaining some support from the far left? There’s always more in these numbers than meets the eye.

Uh. Maybe because "Americans" actually go for his Shinola Sales tactics, and the "Americans" you romantically think of in your head, who voted for Reagan, etc, are pretty much gone? Maybe?

Maybe 2008 was not an aberration but an omen?

He could be re-elected. It will mean the end of America. That is the bad news. The good news is that it’s not going take much longer. We are going to have to apparantly hit rock bottom before we face the grim reality that socialism is bad.

I look for food riots here in America before Comrade O’s second term is out.

Amazing that so many Americans let the media do their thinking for them...

"23% strongly approve.."

If 17% of the voters are black, and 95% of them probably "strongly support" Obama..then other than "his people"..nobody else really likes him..

Yep. Less than half of the people working. Gas over $4. Three wars. Home values dropping. Food prices skyrocketing. People having to put off their retirement.

Sorry, I don't believe it.

One needs to understand that MOST Americans did not want to see the government shutdown and they credit Obama with the compromise.

Most Americans are not as intuned with what is really going on.

However, this is a temporay boost in his approval rating and the rising cost of gas and inflation will eventually take a toll which hopefully Obama cannot bounce back from.

A) Laymen see him as getting congress to settle and avoid a shutdown so he appears competent

B) Many, like me, are absolutely disgusted with the GOP. Will I go to the booth and vote straight GOP-yeah, I suppose. Do I see any point to go all to make sure the GOP gets the majority of both houses? No.

“WTF” - that seems to be the reaction to everything Obama does. In keeping with his “Winning the Future” mantra, he should make his campaign posters just the “hope” artwork with “WTF” underneath.
