Obama Gets Small Health Care Bounce
Obama Gets Small Health Care Bounce

The latest DailyKos/Research 2000 weekly tracking poll shows President Obama receiving a slight bounce in his favorability rating -- up five points -- since signing a health care reform bill earlier this week.

For comparison, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is up three points while House Minority Leader John Boehner is down five points. Congressional Democrats are up three points while Congressional Republicans are down seven points.

2. 5 points. 10% Little?

A 10% increase is a 'slight' bounce?

3. It's the mathematical formulation the MSM uses.
With a D after the name, subtract 50% of all poll responses, or more, depending on what's at stake for big business.

5. Now he needs to get behind it and run

This could be a political winner, but the Dems can NOT let the Rethugs get out there and define every damn thing. Health Care, School Lunches, Signing an Arms accord...working on renewables soon, we need this all moved forward. This President better be eating his wheaties.
