That puts Obama, who leaves office in January, in a position to remain a force in the political debate at a point in his final term when some others faded into the background.

For the first time since 2013, half of those questioned approve of the job Obama is doing in office, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll.

Wow..these polls are so well timed. Just like the dipping unemployment numbers as 2012 rolled around.

The state run media is so pathetic I can’t believe there are people that buy the BS. There are plenty of government schooled morons I guess.

Anybody take a good look at the factory orders for Q1 before they wrote this propaganda piece? Thought not. Let me tell you, it ain’t pretty. You’re going to see a rise in unemployment in Q2, and I don’t think they’ll be able to hide it.

If they were the General John Q Public they would be sent to the crisis center as chronically delusional.

watch all banks. They have shut down lending completely with Dodd Frank. Banks do credit card usurious rates and checking and atm fees. They no longer serve the community. Try to get a loan . The phone will say “press 1 to hang up” . Obama was, is and will be a disaster for Americans.

Improved economic outlook.

They are counting on things getting better AFTER o'bama leaves office.

I do share that belief with them.

I believe that Obola has financial time-bombs set to destroy the Republican POTUS who succeeds him.
