For the first time since early July, more Americans approve of the job President Barack Obama is doing than disapprove, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll that shows his approval rating now at 50 percent.
The poll, taken March 8-11 on the heels of reports that 227,000 jobs were added to the U.S. economy in February, indicates that Obama's rating has risen by 2 percentage points during the past month. The percentage of Americans who disapprove of the Democratic president was 48 percent, down from 49 percent in February.

Also keep in mind the 2008 Presidential Election had a party breakdown of D-37/R-30/I-33. In addition in the most recent party breakdown percentages, Rasmussen had a GOP affiliation advantage of +3.6%(R-36.0/D-32.4).
Countdown until Jackwagon leaves Office: 312 days as of March 14, 2012.
Amazing.
It’s so unbelievable, it’s hard to believe.
My friend, this just confirms that 2012 will be the dirtiest year in election history. The Teleprompter Kid and his minions won’t hesitate to pull out all the stops to cheat their way to victory.
They’re laying the stones to get their guy reelected.
Really, Reuters?
A bogus, completely unrepresentative sampling of 554 Dems, 421 Repubs and 109 Indies...
...And a 50 approve and 48 disapprove is the BEST you can conjure up for Obama???
Try again, boys and girls.
They will fat finger every poll in an effort to show that he is popular.
I would pay some good money to see what their internals are showing. I would bet lower 30's at best.
Rasmussen is probably the best to get a feel of what is going on. His daily roll up polls show that Obama has a core 25 percent support and opposition has a core 40 percent. That leaves a soft 35 percent that somewhat supports Obama or somewhat against Obama. The battle is winning these people on election day. All the GOP needs to do is win 1/3 of the mushy middle to exceed 50 percent while Obama must win 2/3 to exceed 50 percent. Not an easy feat to do and the Dems know that. By July we will have a good feel on how the economy is doing. I think the slowdown in the EU and high price of gasoline (caused by devalued US dollar/war talk and not supply/demand) will impact the psyche of the mushy middle.
I think Iran will be the kiss of death to this fraud just like it was to Jimmah.
Whereas the CBS and ABC polls were suppressed. This will be the lede on the evening news.
It’s all part of making people feel Obama is inevitable.
51% Dem? That has to break an all time bogus sample.
True Balance: King Obama 38% Approval
“I would pay some good money to see what their internals are showing. I would bet lower 30’s at best. “
Your instincts are good.
The MSM was running a poll every month that asked who will you vote for president in 2012.
In April 2011, 41% said they would definetly vote for obuma.
In May, that number dropped to 39%.
In June, they stopped publishing the poll.
I guess they had to do something after he cratered at 41% on Monday.
I suppose 40 million women got their free birth control yesterday?
You don’t suppose David Axelgrease gave Reuters a friendly call..oh I don’t know, maybe do some poll adjustments for Barry or else we’ll sick Eric H. on you? Nah, that couldn’t have happened./
