President Barack Obama's approval rating has hit its highest point in two years — 60 percent — and more than half of Americans now say he deserves to be re-elected, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll taken after U.S. forces killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
In worrisome signs for Republicans, the president's standing improved not just on foreign policy but also on the economy, and independent Americans — a key voting bloc in the November 2012 presidential election — caused the overall uptick in support by sliding back to Obama after fleeing for much of the past two years.

That was the whole idea behind the timing of the operation. It was all about obama.
Unreal. I wonder who was polled?
I don’t believe it. Gas is over $4 per gallon and unemployment is 9% and people are happy with his performance on the economy???
More more lies they tell, the lies they attempt.
They must have done this poll in Manhattan where all the Jews love this horrible anti-Semite but would vote for him for any reason. Do some polling out here in downtown Ohio!

I like the way the article says that 61% of people don’t approve of the way he’s handled gas prices. They add the caveat “even though the president can do very little about that”! I’m sure they added that in there when Bush was in charge as well.
They must have went out and found simple-minded morons for this poll.
oops...is that the media and the pollsters all jammed up Obamas butt? They are showing their true colors. The Media....doing more for the destruction of America, one poll and one day at a time.

Is that facetious, or reality? Hard to tell these days.
Success in killing Bin Laden is going to bleed off into other areas for awhile. More people probably think if he could accomplish this that the economic problems are either not his fault or that his policies may eventually work.
Hussein is going to be popular for awhile unfortunately, and there isn't much we can do about it other than bide our time. His numbers will come down again, but maybe not as low as they were before. Additionally, it is going to be very hard to attack him on foreign policy/terrorism issues.
Only honest polls of likely voters matter.
And only the polls of likely voters in certain states is critical.
My son is doing his part, however. Before he hires anyone, he goes to their Facebook page.
A SINGLE pro-Obama reference will result in: no interview, no hire.

"I have the impression that Barack Obama works really hard for Americans and that I see his leadership as something that should be continued," says independent voter Allison Kaplan, 25, in Austin, Texas, who voted for him in 2008.
ROFLOL!!!!!
This is BS.
Ah, it really says 1001 “adults”, which could be just about anybody.
MSM continues full force Psych-Ops...
