NBC/WSJ poll: Obama bouncing back

By Mark Murray
Deputy political director

<...>

In the poll, Obama’s job-approval rating stands at 53 percent, which is an eight-point jump from last month and represents his highest rating in the survey since July 2009.

The improvement for Obama was across the board: Approval among independents moved from 35 percent in December to 46 percent now; among Democrats, it went from 76 percent to 86 percent; and among Republicans, it went from 11 percent to 15 percent.

<...>

Republicans have now been in control of the House for less than two weeks, but the survey suggests an abbreviated honeymoon for the GOP.

Just 25 percent say that the Republicans in Congress will bring “the right kind of change” to the country. That’s compared with 42 percent who said that after Democrats took over the House in 2007, and 37 percent who said that after Republicans gained control in 1995.

<...>

And attitudes about the Republican Party have declined, with 34 percent viewing the GOP positively and 40 percent negatively — down from its 38-37 percent favorable/unfavorable rating last month.

By comparison, the Democratic Party’s fav/unfav in the current poll is 39-35 percent, up from its 37-41 percents score from last month.

5. Buyer's Remorse re: republican congress

hmm.. wonder what they'll accomplish in 2 years to convince the voters that they are there to do the people's work.

my guess is, JACK SHIT. it will be 2 years worth of game playing and heated rhetoric designed to make the President look as bad as possible.

republicans have no idea what they're doing once elected. complete and total incompetence.
