I don’t know. All this thrashing about in the beltway media on how Obama has ‘come back’, his daily Rasmussen numbers look about the same as they have on average over the past couple years. He has about 20-22% strong approval, about 40-44% strong disapproval, and his overall hovers 44-46% approval and around 50% disapproval. The GOP has certainly opened the door through terrible strategy, but Obama hasn’t seen the benefit. The overall ‘who do you trust’ numbers still look to be in the GOP favor, too. At best, the Dems have just been successful at pulling the GOP down further into the mud.

He popped up over Christmas/New Year break. But is back down to rigth where he was before. I think VDH has a ponit. Everything Obama does makes people angry. The more he tries to do the worse his numbers get. The more he just get out of the spotlight the better his numbers look.

The obvious strategy for the GOP is to make sure Obama can't get out of the spotlight. Pummel him with legislation that he has to oppose or veto. Change the meme from the do nothing congress to the veto everything president. Force Obama to be out there every day fighting to defend some liberal appointee or pet pork project. Make the next election all about Obama.
