President Obama’s job approval rating has inched up to 47 percent, according to a survey released Sunday by Gallup, the best showing for the president in more than seven months.

Obama still remains underwater, with 49 percent of Americans disapproving of his job as president. But Sunday marked the first time since June fewer a than half of respondents reported dissatisfaction with the way the president was handling his job.
The survey suggests Obama has been bolstered by his recent executive actions on immigration and Cuba policy, as well as a willingness and ability to corral some congressional Democrats into supporting a $1.1 trillion government funding bill. The White House has also spent recent weeks touting wage and job growth, as well as a substantial decline in oil prices.

At a press conference before departing to Hawaii for his annual holiday vacation, Obama argued it has been a “breakthrough year” for the country.


“Take any metric that you want, America's resurgence is real. We are better off,” he said.

By comparison, Bush was at 38 percent at this same point, and, within a few week, would be in the low 30s.

So the whole "plummeting approval" narrative collapses.

Look for the "lib'rul media" to start up all the Ebola, ISIS, "the world is on fire" fearmongering from the pre-election period again, and they'll try their damnedest to say he's personally responsible for the NYPD shooting.

1. Oh, No, the sky is falling, come on now, Rush and others predicted the end of

The US and somebody has interrupted the process. Well, don't listen to those losers, we can stand by our guy Obama, Cool Handed Luke.

2. As far as I'm concerned.....

...his approval rating is 99%, only because no one is perfect.

4. Other nations would be begging for Obama to lead them.

[Fred Sanders]

3. But the media told us they were "plunging", completely redefining the word. Would they lie to us?

Fear mongering to deflect from good news and plough in with all the bad they can scrap up. Even now they are seeking the next Fearbola to unleash and boost their ratings.

In the next 2 years Obama approval ratings will be far above that of Bush at the same time and multiple times higher than the incoming Republican Congress. How does the media handle that?

[George II]

5. Correct, and a few months ago it was around the 40% area - now at 47% it has "inched" up????

[Fred Sanders]

6. If they were plunging before would this not be "soaring"?

Notice also how Obama is "still underwater" at 47-49, which means Bush at this time and the current Congress would be "drowning", right?

[George II]

9. Waterboarded?

7. Well the 24/7 fear mongering about Ebola, Isis, Obamacare,

police shootings has subsided. THE ELECTION IS OVER!

10. Republicans: NOOOOOOOO!!!!

OOOHHH NOOOOOEESSS!!!!

Um....BENGAHZI! EBOLA! NORTH KOREA!!!

BENGHAZI!!! BENGHAZI!! BENGHAZI!!

11. "Underwater" according to GALLUP....eh?

GALLUP...the "Romney wins in a walk" crew!!! They make no secret of their festering bias!!!




What this means, since Gallup is always OFF-DEAD WRONG-INACCURATE when it comes to Democrats, and hyper-hopeful to the point of complete bullshit and invention when it comes to Republicans, is that Obama is probably well over fifty percent.

12. It inches up

and plunges down. If he were a white republican it would be "surges up".

[Major Hogwash]

13. So the whole "plummeting approval" narrative collapses.

Yup.

14. Obama Is Distractingly Nauseating

He came out again and said what great people the Bushes are. He says he only had some policy differences but is very close personally with them and Jeb and Bush Sr have visited with him many times. He is very close personal friends with this criminal family? Bush Sr Iran/ Contra crimes...Neil Bush Savings & Loan crisis crimes...GW torture and WMD lies...Marvin Bush's company in charge of security at WTC up till 911 (great work buddy) and Jeb Bush has been caught fraternizing with cocaine cartel bosses. EVERYONE here wants to know why Bush isn't being prosecuted for torture...WELL now you know. No one indicts there close personal family friends.
