President Bush's approval rating has surged in recent weeks, reversing what had been an extended period of decline, with Americans now expressing renewed optimism about the future of democracy in Iraq, the campaign against terrorism and the U.S. economy, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News Poll.
Bush's overall approval rating rose to 47 percent, from 39 percent in early November, with 52 percent saying they disapprove of how he is handling his job. His approval rating on Iraq jumped 10 percentage points since early November, to 46 percent, while his rating on the economy rose 11 points, to 47 percent. A clear majority, 56 percent, said they approve of the way Bush is handling the fight against terrorism -- a traditional strong point in his reputation that nonetheless had flagged to 48 percent in the November poll.
The marked improvement in Bush's fortunes comes after months of erosion in the president's political standing that tracked a series of problems afflicting his administration. The most significant was the continuing violence and mounting U.S. casualties in Iraq, but high gasoline prices and the federal government's slow response to Hurricane Katrina also caused increasing numbers of Americans to register doubts about Bush's leadership.

Front page above the fold.
Bush's approval rating is 51.3%.
That was confirmed in the National Election.
Everything else is guesswork and worse, sedition!
Ummmm .. weren't they reporting just LAST WEEK that his approval rating were 39% ???
Soooooooo that would mean that in just 1 week ... his numbers jumped almost 10 points
Sometimes I think they let the rats and the marxist-media have enough rope to hang themselves. But it just seems like they went too long before yanking on the slack.

Oh how this must be killing them.
Even despite all the MSM drumming up about the secret wire tapping? Can't be!
Yay!!
Journalists flying out the windows at the Post, film at 11!
It must absolutely kill them to report this.
It's strange these polls don't seem to have any or very little "undecided" or "no opinion" answers anymore.
You can always tell when Rove is burning the midnight oil, mwuhahaha
Fingers crossed for no new terror hits.
What to do but get even more insane and call for impeachment.
I'm very eager to see the real questions and statistics behind this poll. While the poll acknowledges an up-tick in Bush support, I'm suspicious about a majority still disaproving. At 52-47% that means only 1% had no opinion, etc.
Even despite all the MSM drumming up about the secret wire tapping? Can't be!
Or maybe because of the wire tapping? The more Democrats appear weak on terrorism, the better the alternative appears.
After President Bush's comments over the last several weeks and his strong statements yesterday morning (Mon) at the press conference, I doubt he cares much about his poll numbers.
1. She told them that their President was lying to them.
2. She told them that they were fighting a war they couldn't win.
3. She told them they were fighting because the big corporations wanted things in Japan and SE Asia.
Are we hearing these same things right now?
Who are the Modern Day Tokyo Roses?
Why does he have to continually placate a public with an attention span of a nanosecond and so easily distracted by the latest Brittany Spears scandal?
