Obama’s Approval Rises In Superstorm Sandy’s Wake

KYLE LEIGHTON NOVEMBER 3, 2012, 9:12 PM 13932

President Obama has seen a boost in his job approval ratings in the past week as the nation has dealt with Superstorm Sandy and its aftermath. Meanwhile, Republican challenger Mitt Romney’s favorability has hit a rough patch following almost a month of gains.

The shifts come with the the election just days away and could mark a late turn in a campaign that has drawn on for two years.

Since Oct. 28, a national tracking poll by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling has shown Obama’s job approval making a net gain of 6 percentage points. PPP is also the only national poll tracking a similar metric for Romney, his favorability rating, on a daily basis. During the same period, Romney’s favorability has dropped by a net 7 points.

Other daily tracking polls have also shown Obama making similar gains. Republican-leaning Rasmussen showed a 5-point net boost since its Monday poll. A daily ABC News/Washington Post poll has put Obama’s approval rating at 50 percent or above in nine of the 12 editions through Friday, and at 49 percent on the three other days.

1. It is so over.

Freepers, Cave Dwellers are so dellusional

2. Let's face facts on Hurricane Sandy

The bar on hurricanes was set pretty low after Bush and his cabinet sat out Katrina on vacation. Took them six days to end their vacations. Obama showed up and he had competent Fema director. It wasn't hard for President Obama to look good and thank god because it's a mess in New Jersey and New York.

3. I don't think you know the "facts". Of course, bush and his cronies did

a terribly tragic job with all those poor people who were victims of Katrina. But, that has nothing to do with the job President Obama has done with Sandy. Don't sell him short. PBO looks good because he's a hands on President who started out as a Community Organizer back in Chicago and the Community has just got Wider.

He flew in and he's been in contact via the phone ever since. And, Mayor Bloomberg said he didn't want FEMA's help because New York had the facilities to handle it and they could go elsewhere where's it's Needed.

4. I'm not trying sell President Obama short. My point was that he did his job as president.

Bush and company never did figure it out. Too busy figuring out who to attack next.
