Obama is up to 67% approval on Gallup today. I guess the press conference impressed America.

His approval is up 4 points in the last 2 days, and disapproval is down 4.

1. You beat me by a couple seconds!

His approval went up 4% in 2 days and his disapproval went down 3% in the same 2 days. :D

4. It's gotta be the press conference. Whenever he has a big event, it seems he gets a nice bump. nt

5. Well, last time he had a press conference his numbers went down in this poll...

and people were claiming it was due to "over-exposure." And THIS time the media line seemed to be that his press conference was so BORING-and the viewership dropped by 10 million compared to the last one. I'm glad people made up their own minds.

8. Did they really drop last time? I didn't remember that. That's weird. nt

[jenmito]

9. Yup. I remember checking the poll after and NOT starting a thread because his numbers dropped.

I was really afraid he WAS being seen as over-exposed (with help from the media TELLING us that).

6. Yep

That's why the media complains about him being too visible. If I have to hear them continue bashing him for talking TOO MUCH to the American people ("Overexposed! Overexposed! Squawk! Overexposed!"), I'm going to scream. He does this to get past their filters. And so far, it seems to be working.

2. Now that is just excellent.. just excellent

3. Excellent.

7. I think it ALSO has to do with his handling of the swine flu. n/t

10. my grandmother

(she doesn't vote, but her Republican husband voted for Obama this year) was saying to me the other day "Did you see Obama's news conference? He is so....intelligent. And he thinks about what he is saying."

11. He's definitely overexposed.*

14. "Overexposed"?!?!? Are you kidding me?

He isn't Susan Boyle for chrissakes.

He's President during a one of the most tumultuous times in our history.

So, "overexposed?" Noooo. He's actually working his ass off day in and day out to clean up the Shrub's mess.

And he's out front, speaking to the American people about where things are going. Not hiding, like Shrubbie.

15. dup.

12. Great news in light of the barrage of bullshit coming at him. n/t

13. Woooo Hooo!!!! Keeps gettin' better n' better! (I missed the conf., tho...working) nt
