Barack Obama’s rising popularity: The GOP contest may be making him look better
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 3/29/16 | Jim Galloway

Emory University political scientist Alan Abramowitz sends this note about Obama’s rising popularity, as measured by the Gallup organization:

All the noise being made by the presidential campaign, especially by the Republican campaign, has taken attention away from what may turn out to be more significant for the general election—Barack Obama’s rising approval rating.

This is spot on.

Every indication out there should put his approval rating at least in the low 40’s.

Yet, the public is being treated to the circus called the GOP primary and he’s benefiting greatly from it

Wasn’t Obama’s popularity in the basement to start with?

If anyone doubts this, the number of people who still believe the country is heading in the wrong direction is rising, economic anxiety, ObamaCare....

Yet, he ‘s at 53%

The wrong direction had nothing to do with him. It’s the fault of the GOP. Limbaugh theorem, I believe.

This is a problem. If the people are happy with the job 0bama is doing, it’s going to be impossible to defeat the Democrats.

Emory University? Isn’t that the place where the students were sent into a catatonic state by the word Trump written in chalk?

Keep in mind this is the same Emory University where the “little darlings” were traumatized when they saw “Trump” written in chalk.
