As many in the United States hold their noses in the search for the next president, they’re increasingly warming to the president they already have.

Buoyed by some good economic news and a surge of goodwill from his base of supporters, President Barack Obama is seeing his approval rating rise. 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.

GfK (Gesellschaft für Konsumforschung, or the Assocation for Consumer Research) dates back to 1934, and we know who was in power during that year; after all, it came out recently that AP were in bed with them.

For seven years the people who knew the economy was crap have been dying off, and replaced by young people who’ve been raised with/by the nanny state. Just as in “Animal Farm”, time will reduce the number of people who remember the “before-times”...

Wow! And passed by a GOP complicit Congress! You just can’t make this stuff up. This will be Pravda on steroids, if the muzzie in chief has his way. (which he always seems to get)
Thanks Laz, I wasn’t aware of this component of NDAA.
