Obama's Job Approval Continues to Rise in Latest Poll, Thanks to Independents

President Obama has ended 2 wars, ended the worst recession in years, reformed health care, negotiated the start treaty, ended discrimination of gays in the Military and so much more. That is why he is the only president in history who can have a 55% approval rating while unemployment is at 9.5%.

I read an article with good old Sarah and was criticizing the Presidents state of the Union and was quoted as saying, the govt isnt in the jobs business.

Well if that is true then why is everyone on the right blaming Obama for the unemployment rate?

Keep up the good work Mr. President. I appreciate it.

Pres. Obama will be recognized as the President who saved America from a second depression while ending 2 wars at the same time. I am certain this is how history will record his presidency. He is a scholar and a gentleman at all times.

This poll is meaningless. It's too far away from the election to have any use except as fodder for unimaginative, lazy journalists content to dress up press releases. Bruce Drake joins the chorus of reporters pushing the "comeback kid" theme, which commentators on the right predicted more than a year ago when Pres. Obama was stumbling from one bad decision to the next.

The important thing to observe is this: when Obama behaved as a progressive, a majority of the country disapproved. Now that he's seeming to accept conservative prescriptions -- cutting spending and regulation, lowering taxes on all earners, getting the government out of the way of job creation -- he's rebounding in the polls.

But it's unlikely to last. He's too arrogant and self-righteous to accept what the other side believes. He maintains the simplistic, petty belief of the left that the rich are that way because they stole a disproportionate share from everybody else, got lucky, or inherited it. He takes as his mission a rebalancing. He truly sees himself as a redeemer, sent to save us from our worst instincts and fundamental immorality. But he's a hypocrite. Under Obama, the most significant gains have occurred among -- guess who -- large banks, government unions, and other politically connected groups like rent-seeking green-energy companies. He talks angry populism but serves big donors, like every other politician.

There's also the little problem of Obamacare. When the scale of that disaster is made clear in the course of the next two years, Obama will be hoping for 5% unemployment to act as a distraction during the election.

Some of you remind me of spoiled brats..the car you got for graduation wasn't a Lexus and you can't have your own room at the private college they are paying for...whine and bitch...try getting real..if you are married, please tell me you never make mistakes and that your spouse is happy with you all the time..then think about all a President has to do (besides make and keep YOU happy) with the responsibility of 360 million people..is he right all the time..NO..has things improved since he became President..YES..will it get better..I hope so because it was not so good a few years ago..and stop listening to those radio pundits..ask them this question..if they have the love of this country as they say they do..run for President and give up their 500 million a year gig..better yet..join the military and show us how much you care..

It never cease to amaze me how we call ourselves Americans and we say we want what's best for Americans.
When Pres Bush was in office we all felt our country sinking to record lows in unemployment, The War, health care cost, etc. Then we overwhelmingly backed Pres Obama because of what he said he could do for our country. The Man is DOING IT...............HELLO.. and we are still not satisfied??? Pres Obamas ratings is going up because LEVEL HEADED AMERICANS are seeing for themselves that The Man is doing a GR8 job considering what he is up against......He is trying to bring us together and Lord knows whe havent seen that since 9/11, will it take another disaster like that to make us realize that if we want our country to be better WE ARE THE CHANGE THAT IS NEEDED, In our thinking, In our actions, and in the way we treat one ANOTHER.....PRES OBAMA is trying to make us a GR8 country but we all must do our parts.

Since I never had the opportunity to ever see this so-called poll, my independent voter rating for Obama is a big thumbs way down. I am daily more & more angry at his administration which is lame at best & destructive at worst. So no I don't approve of him.

where is this poll. ive not seen it. have you seen it. we have not seen it.

I can't believe that poll. I still don't have health insurance, $733.00 a month premiums for just me is more than I can afford since I'm still not working full time. We lost our employer covered health insurance after the health care bill passed because we received notice that our premiums were going to increase over 40%. There is no cap in the bill. And did you know, if you sell your house, you will have to pay a minium 3.25% sales tax on it to help pay for the bill? Gas over $3.00 a gallon. When that happened during the Bush administration we were all told he single handedly manipulated the prices to help his oil buddies. Whose doing it now? They have given billions to Wall Street and banks that did nothing to help the regular people. And food prices, through the roof. I realize he inherited a mess, but nothing, NOTHING, has improved for myself or many of my friends and family. They have only gotten worse. No one wants to blame any Democrat for the housing mess. Barney Frank said Freddie and Frannie were just fine.People were starting to warn, but no, everyone had to have a house. Liking the guy in one thing, thinking he's doing a great job is another thing. I wonder if the two are being confused?

These poll numbers are as belieable as Mr obama's promise to be nice ,, give me a break

CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY SO MUCH CONTROVERSIES ABOUT OBAMA--THE GUY IS DOING A GREAT JOB, AND HIS ACTIONS ARE STARTING TO BE NOTICED ALL OVER.. HE WILL BE REELECTED EASILY AND ALL THIS MONEY THAT WILL BE SPENT TO UNSEAT HIM IS JUST A WASTE.
