President Obama remains hugely unpopular with Republicans, but a new Gallup Poll finds that he's gained a little ground among moderate members of the GOP.
According to Gallup, Obama's approval rating among moderate Republicans jumped 9 percentage points in the last two weeks, to 29 percent. That's still a dismal number, but as Gallup notes, that's the highest number Obama has banked among swing Republicans since May. Gallup credits the bump, in part, to Obama's compromise with the GOP on tax cuts.

There is nothing about Barry even remotely resembling 'moderate'.
No rational Republican could possibly approve of anything Obama does. This poll is a joke.
I odn’t think his poll numbers could gain more among “moderates” like Oly Snowe.
why should they, he’s still the same socialist/Marxist he ‘s always been...
I followed the LINK AT THE SOURCED YAHOO ARTICLE..
In contrast, Obama's approval rating among moderate/liberal Republicans (including independents who lean Republican) has increased in December, rising from 20% to 29% in just the past two weeks. This is his highest level of support from moderate/liberal Republicans since May."
LOL. Now, did Gallup poll Republicans or NOT? Looks like NOT, just some liberals that said they "lean" Republican. Likely from Maine, Massachusetts etc.
Yes, I think it must be a joke, too. I was in DC earlier this month and went to a Christmas party with a friend. All of the attendees (except for yours truly) were flaming liberals, and while they remain staunch in their liberalism, most seem to have gone off Obama. They were making jokes about him and talking about how awful he is. Of course, several of these people have lost jobs or have seen reduced income over the last 18 months or so.
It's a shame they don't realize that it's the leftist policies overall causing this, not just Obama.
Republicans folding up like a cheap suit.
The “pro-leftist spin” by the MSM is eternal.
When you’re down so low, it’s hard to go lower.
The slobbering love affair continues.
Absolutely. They're already in high gear trying to get Barry reelected.
Don't confuse Republican with Conservative. Conservatives oppose Barry and everything he stands for.
Modern-day Republicans think he's peachy and helped get him elected.
Sure seems like this could be part of what’s going on with those RINO’s in congress giving Barry all these lame-duck victories.
“Modern-day Republicans think he’s peachy and helped get him elected.”
Right. Like blathering on about what an incredibly brilliant guy he is, and how his policies are nothing to fear.
Now THAT’S the way to win elections, guys! Brilliant!
Liberalism is a disease that, unfortunately, has infected members of the Republican party like a cancer.
“moderate” Republicans are not rational. Pretty much answers your post.
Extending the Bush tax cuts is moderation from the "failed policies of the past, that almost caused a depression."
As PT Barnum Said ,Theres One Born Every Minute.When it comes to Independents ,thats an Understatement
