Voter confidence in President Obama’s handling of the economy is at its highest level in a year’s time. That’s in line with the recent upticks in overall economic confidence and in Obama’s job approval ratings as measured by the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
Forty percent (40%) of Likely U.S. Voters now rate the president’s performance in the economic area as good or excellent, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. That’s up from 36% a week ago and is the highest positive finding since the first week in February 2011. Obama seldom has cracked the 40% mark in regular surveying since the first year of his presidency.
The surveys of 1,000 Likely Voters each were conducted February 4-5, 2012 and February 6-7, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

Thanks. I need more coffee I guess.
At least one third of Americans are brain dead deadbeats.
You got that right! Here's how it'll play out...
Obama will win this election because the job "numbers" will continue to improve, and because the Pubbies can't get it together with a decent candidate.
2016 will roll around, we'll get a similar batch of losers, and Hillary will be elected.
It'll be interesting to see what's left of the good ole US of A in 2024... the next time a Pubbie has a shot at being President.
Dependence on government is up 23% with 40+ million now on welfare.
The MSM has made the sheeple think that everything is fine.
fake unemployment numbers and a heavily biased MSM might be having an impact
They keep saying obama inherited a bad economy. What he inherited was a democrat-engineered, deliberate collapse.
He refused to regulate those fraudulent derivatives, and the investment banks made them a trillion dollar business, encouraging mortgage lenders to issue loans for more than the property was expected to be worth, to people who weren't expected to be able to pay them. As soon as the ink was dry, the loan would be sold to a big investment house to be bundled up and split into tranches marked AAA!

Typical subliminal ‘BigBrother’ propaganda. The survey says what they want it to say.
Kinda like, Congress means Republican, even though Harry Reid is a Democrat in charge of the Senate. Obama’s budget was voted down in the DEM Senate 97-0 but the Republcans are blamed.
Bizarro world.
Yes, but they vote as a block, and are easily duped, therefore making perfect Democrat(socialist/communist/islamist) voters.
What color states were in that poll??????
They are now living better under Obama than they ever have! After their “Unemployment” ran out, which most of them drew for over a year, they are automatically enrolled on Welfare, and Obama’s “Unemployment” statistics go down as a result, which the MSM reports, that the economy is “Booming”.
They have free, paid and unlimited Cell Phones, free wide band Internet, big screen HD TV’s and their cable is also paid for.
Obama has this thing figured out. These statistics are more than likely correct, unfortunately for us.
Beating Obama should have been a no brainer. Instead, the Republican primary process has turned into Operation Chaos....
Lemmings... Spoon feed by the MSM
While I support Newt, calling Santorum a socialist makes you look like an idiot. I don’t think Rush and Levin would sing the praises of a socialist and they are a bit more credible than you are.
