Obama Hits 8-Month High In Gallup Poll
National Journal ^ | Jan. 3, 2010 | Steven Shepard

As Pres. Obama returns from a Hawaiian vacation to a more Republican Washington Tuesday, his approval rating in the latest Gallup Daily tracking poll sits at its highest point in eight months.

Fully half of Americans approve of the job Obama is doing, while 42 percent disapprove. The last time Obama's approval stood at 50 percent was for the three-day, rolling sample conducted last May 29 to June 1, partially over Memorial Day weekend. His disapproval rating hasn't been lower than 42 percent since mid-May of 2010.

The jump in Obama's approval rating comes shortly after a lame-duck session of Congress that Obama hailed as "a season of progress" before departing on his Christmas vacation. But the White House is likely to find itself on the defensive quickly this week, as Republicans assume control of the House of Representatives on Wednesday.

Exactly...being a native of MS and a resident of TN, I feel great angst with Cochran, Alexander, and Corker...the latter two traded some jobs at Oak Ridge for our National Security on the START Treaty thing....they surely don’t represent the thoughts of this household!

Nothing but manipulated BS with a dose of special sauce. Adults... not voters... and weighted in favor of dims.

“The Gallup Daily tracking poll surveyed 1,544 adults, for a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percent. The poll was conducted Dec. 28 to 29 and Jan. 2; polling was not conducted Dec. 30 to Jan. 1 due to the New Year’s holiday.”

...while another 18 percent strongly disapprove, and the remaining 12 percent very strongly disapprove. Partisan shill poll alert. Thanks Redalways.

Unfortunately for Obama, this is the beginning of the eight months in question.
