Obama Approval on the Rise


A new Quinnipiac poll finds that 48% of American voters approve of the job President Obama is doing, while 43% disapprove.

It's the first time since December that more voters give him a thumbs up rather than thumbs down.

Said pollster Peter Brown: "The increase in President Barack Obama's job approval is a welcome step for the White House. His ratings have been in the no man's land of just below parity for some time and now the question is whether this is the beginning of an upward trend or just a blip."

After all, some of us are working overtime on this.
