Obama gains ground in poll since health care speech

[WI_DEM]

President Obama's Net Favorability Rating--Cumulative Results After Each Day (Fav/Unfav rating after each day in parentheses)
MONDAY: +9 (52/43)
TUESDAY: +10 (52/42)
WEDNESDAY: +15 (55/40)
THURSDAY: +17 (56/39)

Notice, if you will, that the major leap in the President's numbers occurred not on Thursday (the first full day of polling after his health care address to Congress), but on Wednesday, when his single-day sample in the tracking was 62/36, the best numbers he has seen in over a month. His Thursday numbers appear also to have been strong, probably in the 59/39 60/38 range, if my algebraic skills are accurate (update: After receiving the one-day numbers from R2K, it is apparent my algebraic skills grade out at around a "B+").

2. Even Repug Rasmussen shows an Obama bounce - highest approval in a month.

4. Keep yourself out there, Obama!

His calm demeanor and his reasonableness have an appeal.

Heck, people didn't like him as much in August? Because he was on vacation and not around!
