Obama approval ratings on the rise

[UrbScotty]

Forget November’s election “shellacking,” at least for now. Things are looking up for President Barack Obama.

A flurry of new opinion polls show Obama’s approval ratings climbing above 50 percent for the first time in months, fueled by growing public confidence in the economy and a positive reaction to his response to the Arizona shootings and the spurt of bipartisan accomplishment in Congress in December.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll published earlier this week put Obama’s approval at 54 percent, up five percentage points since December, and an NBC/Wall Street Journal poll had him at 53 percent, up eight percentage points in a month.

At least four other recent polls show Obama’s approval climbing above 50 percent, a strong turnaround after his ratings hit new lows in the fall and his fellow Democrats were crushed in elections that saw Republicans seize control of the House of Representatives.
