For the first time since May 18 2010 Obama has a net positive approval rating thanks to a recent spike. Probably a result of a drop in unemployment and a well received speech.
Obama's current job approval stands at a net negative of 4% with 47% approve and 51% disapprove according to rasmussen and gallup's results were a net positive at 49% approve and 43% disapprove.
I think things are turning around for the administration quite fast and Obama is on track for a smooth re-election. Of course the unemployement rate dropping .4% to 9.4% in a single month will eventually rise back up to 9.6% or so. If it doesn't I'll be happily suprised as it might singal a trend towards a quicker recovery.
