WSJ/NBC(R) Poll: Highest Satisfaction with Obama Economy Since 2004 - Headline Claims "Slight Lift" for Obama.
Busting out of the Great Recession
In the poll, 45 percent of Americans say they're satisfied with the state of the U.S. economy, while 54 percent are dissatisfied.
Yet that 45 percent satisfied is the highest number in the NBC/WSJ poll since January 2004.
................................
"More Americans are satisfied with the economy than at any point in the past 10 years, helping to increase President Barack Obama's key job ratings, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released before his annual State of the Union address Tuesday night.
The president's overall job-approval number now stands at 46 percent, which is his highest rating since October 2013 during the government shutdown. (His approval rating was stuck around 40 percent for much of last year.)
What's more, 49 percent of Americans approve of his handling of the economy - the most since his first year in office."
