Pew poll: Obama Job Approval Holds Steady, Economic Views Improve

Obama Job Approval Holds Steady, Economic Views Improve
Obama Rated Positively on Terrorism, Negatively on Civil Liberties







More Positive Economic Views

Only about a quarter of Americans (23%) rate current economic conditions as excellent or good, while 76% say they are only fair or poor. Yet this is the most positive assessment of the nation’s economy since January 2008.

While favorable assessments of economic conditions have risen gradually since last summer, the percentage rating the economy as “poor” has fallen more sharply. Currently, 29% say economic conditions are poor, down 11 points since March and 20 points since the start of the year.

The perception of them being anything other than a FOX Jr. is a farce in itself.

If he's at 53% then he might as well be at 100% because he got 53% of the vote, those who didn't vote for him hate him and will never give him an ounce of credit. He's not flipping conservatives any time soon. They foam at the mouth with ignorance & hatred for him.
