Great News: CNN Poll: Romney favorable rating rebounds

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/04/17/cnn-poll-romney-favorable-rating-rebounds/

Forty-four percent of people questioned in the survey say they have a favorable view of the former Massachusetts governor, up 10 points from February, during some of the most heated moments of the GOP primaries and caucuses. Forty-three percent say they have an unfavorable opinion of Romney, down 11 points from February. Thirteen percent are unsure.

The poll was conducted Friday through Sunday, a few days after former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania suspended his bid for the GOP nomination. Even though former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and Rep. Ron Paul of Texas continue their long-shot bids for the nomination, Romney is now generally considered the presumptive nominee.

The survey indicates that Romney's popularity still lags well behind President Barack Obama's: 56% have a favorable view of the president, with 42% saying they see Obama in a negative light.

but what they are doing thus far in the past couple of weeks is working....

Promote Romney in whatever way possible,
while blaming Pres. Obama for anything and everything that is bad
in the entire world!

Strategy will be to drive down Obama's favorables.

Romney primary campaign = negative ads. "Look! That guy is even worse than me!"
