WASHINGTON (AP) - Budget deficits are in the stratosphere. Unemployment has hit 10 percent. The health care overhaul is incomplete.
Still, Americans appear to like President Barack Obama and the way he's doing his job.
The latest Associated Press-Gfk poll shows the president's popularity holding steady, with 56 percent of those polled approving of the way he's taking care of the country's business. His marks for handling the 8-year-old war in Afghanistan have jumped by double digits, with more than half now approving, since he capped a three-month strategy review by announcing a big troop increase.
But despite his prime-time TV speech explaining how he reached his decision to boost U.S. forces in Afghanistan to 100,000, and begin bringing them home in July 2011, there was no change in the public's resistance to escalation. Just 42 percent favor sending more troops while 56 percent oppose it, essentially unchanged from November.

AP is the only poll that shows him at 56% so it’s not worth the paper it’s written on.
The only meaningful poll is coming in 2010.
The LA Times was right. He's a 'magic negro'.
this is only coming from gfk, the other polls show he’s still in his high 40s percentage for his approval. AP is desperate to keep his popularity by using only one source.
I see the Associalistic Press is out with their usual fraudulent push polls as if on cue, to try and save 0bozo’s fast colllapsing regime.
Gee, I wonder how many phone calls the AP pollsters took for Rahm Emmanual/David Axelrod, and how many millions werwe slipped under the counter to the AP pollsters from George Soros in order for them to come up with this laughable “poll”?
I’s impossible for 0bozo to be at 56% approval in any poll, when the best pollster in the business, Rasmussen has 0bozo at only 46% approval and even Gallup has him at 47%.

Heck even the bottom feeding partisan Daily Kos, did better tan the AP in the 2008 elections polls.
Thanks for posting this. I have seen you put this up before for a sanity check.
Yessiree, that is some serious equine excrement. Must have gotten the call list from the DNC, or the Communist Party...
It’s time to take back the country.
Exactly, Here is something though still slanted left is starting to shed the light on the groundswell of discontent that is going to erupt any day now:
