Gallup: Obama job approval surges (swings 10 pts. in 2 weeks; bad news for thinking Americans)
Politico, another Hussein cult worship center on the web ^ | 12/26/11 | B Tau

According to the latest Gallup tracking poll, more Americans approve of the job that President Obama is doing than disapprove for the first time since this summer.

The latest Gallup survey shows that 47 percent of Americans now say they approve of the way that President Obama is handling his job. This is a 5 percent improvement since the Dec. 16-18 Gallup survey and marks the first time the president's numbers have been in positive territory since July. The number of Americans who say they disapprove of Obama's job performance has fallen to 45 percent, down 5 points from Dec. 16-18.

I know these are "adults" and not "likely voters"...but this is NOT good news.

Let's keep focused on defeating HUSSEIN no matter what happens in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida....

We have some serious work ahead of us.
Hussein would win if the election were held tomorrow. Shocking, yes.
There are a lot of drones and freeloaders in our country.

This is all part of the re-elect plan. Try do demoralize us. The numbers are not real. Just like unemployment numbers, housing numbers etc. Nothing is real with this bunch.

The TEA Party has to come out of hiding this week and get somebody to the right of Hussein nominated. If the establishment runs Romney then Hussein will duck to the right of him and win in a landslide.

It doesn't help that republican candidates and their henchmen have been gleefully stabbing each other in the back on national tv. The squalid infighting makes obama look good by comparison.

Since Obama has taken no actions to improve his poll numbers, I have to believe the reason behind this surge (if accurate) is more a reflection of what the opposition party is offering as candidates.

One thing I'm fairly certain of, the media will be campaigning and the economic data (though suspect) will indicate improvement. Anyone that believes that any candidate the Republicans nominate will beat Obama is going to be extremely disappointed.

I had to take a double take when I saw this on Drudge. A real head scratcher as there's positively no explanation for this unless they believe he single handedly prevented their taxes from increasing in January by cutting short his very expensive upteenth vacation.

The improved employment picture during the Christmas holiday season makes people stuck on economics stupid think that Zer0 is improving the economy. They don’t consider that the holiday shopping always improves the job picture. Once the retail sector loses its bounce, employment will drop and all those who did work will be supported by unemployment. The economic drain will continue.

Change that to the media HAS BEEN compaigning for months now. It's been said no Prez could win re-election if the unemployment is higher than 7.2, yet today they were so gleeful we're down to 8.5 due to his handling of the economy.

A taste of the coming election. A lot of lefties who profess they are upset with Bammy will ultimately vote for him. They view the silly two month SS tax reduction as a major victory - for no logical reason, except ‘he won’. The lefties will always flock back to him. Best bet is to distract them with shiney objects on election day.

Only Boehner could manage to lose the optics to the point that Americans see Obama as the tax cutter and Republicans as the ones wanting to raise taxes.

Quite the accomplishment. Go figure.

This is a blip in his approval ratings. It’s just a publicity gimmick which will slowly disappear as the months go on. He’s running low on election year gimmicks. The economy is in the tank and he has few gimmicks left.

Last I read 42% (maybe it was 43) of the country is on some kind of Government hand out. The tipping point is fast approaching.
