Obama sees jump in approval on eve of State of the Union Speech.

It's interesting how little play 'positive' polls get in the national media. When one poll, though, shows Obama well below an average rating, the news runs with it.

While Obama's approval is still below water, in a new CBS News/New York Times poll, Obama's approval is now at 46% - up from 42% last month and 37% in November.

It shows a steady climb back from the questionable rollout of Obamacare and the government shutdown.

But, you know, Benghazi!

Who here can you single out as being from the "many" who will not be pleased to see Obama's poll numbers improve?

Who here wants him to fail?

just wait a month when the ACA (Obamacare) number of enrollments hits 5 (FIVE) Million. Repukes will have a massive Jim Jones kool aid event.

Is it wrong that I'm smiling???
