Washington (CNN) - President Barack Obama's approval rating, a crucial indicator of his reelection chances, is on the rise, according to a new national survey.
A CNN/ORC International Poll out Tuesday also indicates that the partisan battle over extending the payroll tax cut may be partially responsible for the jump in the president's numbers.

According to the survey, 49% of Americans approve of the job Obama's doing in the White House, up five points from last month, with 48% saying they disapprove, down six points from mid-November. The 49% approval rating is the president's highest since May, when his number hit 54% thanks to a bounce following the killing of Osama bin Laden. Since then, in CNN polling, Obama's approval rating has hovered in the mid-40s.
"President Barack Obama's approval rating appears to be fueled by dramatic gains among middle-income Americans," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "The data suggest that the debate over the payroll tax is helping Obama's efforts to portray himself as the defender of the middle class."

It is obvious from the above that the poll sample was loaded in favor of Democrats.
The unemployment rate went down because workers were excluded from the numbers. Obama’s approval rate went up because Republicans were excluded from the numbers.
You know this is one big fat whopping lie.
Winston Smith must be back from his weekend tryst with Julia.
As long as we keep the profit motive in voting, Democrats will keep winning elections
I’m sick of reading and hearing about all the bullshi t “polls”. You can write and say anything you want, you can slant any poll to come out the way you want.
Forget the polls and do your own damn “homework”.
Guess they are now only polling government workers and welfare folks.
