got to run but here is a little something for the righties to cry over all weekend.
Obamaâs Approval Rating, Popularity Spike After Election
There may not be a consensus yet on how much political capital President Obama picked up in his re-election, but a number of post-election polls suggest his victory did wonders for his public standing.
A USA Today/Gallup survey released on Friday showed Obama and his party drawing goodwill from much of the country in the wake of their triumph at the ballot box last week. Fifty-eight percent of Americans have a favorable view of the president â up 3 points from the USA Today/Gallup poll conducted right before the election. Itâs also his highest favorability rating in the poll since July of 2009.
The publicâs view of Democrats is also positive in the wake of a largely successful election for the party. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed have a favorable impression of the party, a 6-point bump since August and a more impressive showing than the 43 percent who have a favorable view of the Republican Party.
