Take Dat-Bitch :laugh:

President Obama is beginning 2014 on the upswing as millions are signing up for the ACA, and his approval rating has increased by 5 points according to Gallup.

The Gallup Obama approval daily tracking poll reveals that the president’s approval rating has jumped five points since the days before Christmas from 39%-44%. Disapproval of the president has fallen from 54%-49%. President Obama’s approval numbers shift wildly based on the tone of the media coverage that he is receiving, but media’s negativity was hiding a convergence of positive things.

Now that the ACA website is repaired, and millions of Americans are signing up, the media’s endless drumbeat of negativity has temporarily stopped. Without the Republican fueled Obama bashing from the corporate media, the president’s approval rating has gone up, and his disapproval rating has gone down.

Republicans and the media have consistently failed to understand, and in many cases actively worked to undermine, the fact that President Obama remains basically popular. For the sixth year in a row, the president was named the most admired man in the world. For as much as Republicans try to project their hatred and contempt for this president on to the nation, the rest of the country has never shared their feelings.

Not sure about this, but doesn't the holidays being this happy event usually auto uptick polls? Seem like this is a normal trend. I doubt its because "millions" sign up for Obamacare. With 6 plus million kicked off their current plans it is not that surprising that a major number had to go find an aca plan.

It is definitely a positive spin that sounds good, I will keep my powder dry on this until we see it shake out a bit.

I would have to see the questions asked. I always download the polls. The ones from October where they looked for "disapproval" ratings included the word Republican without Democrat and were quite misleading. I have no doubt that the questions showing any sort of approval are such that it would be difficult to sink him or any other president. I knew no one that liked Bush but he always managed to be above 35% and swimming in the 40's.

Until I read the questions all poll results are open to skepticism and are purely speculative.
