WASHINGTON -- President Obama cant yet claim to have turned a corner, but he does seem to have stopped a politically damaging slide in public approval for himself and his new healthcare law, new polling data indicate.
After seven months of steady decline, public approval of Obamas job performance has ticked upward, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. The poll finds 45% of Americans approve of Obamas work and 49% disapprove.
Thats the highest approval and closest margin since mid-summer, when the presidents ratings first turned negative. Obamas low point came last month as the administration struggled to fix the HealthCare.gov website and placate Americans who had discovered, contrary to his promise, that their insurance policies were being canceled.
The problems of the last year including the stalemate or defeat of major legislation on gun control and immigration, the standoff over the budget and the bungled rollout of the Affordable Care Act have all taken a toll on how the public sees Obama. The percentage of those who say he is not able to get things done has risen steadily from a little more than one-third in the spring to just over half in the latest survey, which was conducted Tuesday through Sunday for USA Today.
But several factors continue to buoy the president, most notably the deep unpopularity of his opponents.
Nice spin by LA Times, and of course, not surprising in the least. Here are all the polls. Folks can judge for themselves whether the LA Times is telling the truth in saying that Obama is on the rebound.

Well, that's certainly damning with faint praise! "Oh, sure; he sucks. But they suck worse!"

Hmm ...
My take is that if the polls are favourable to Obama, that the liberal media is covering for Obama and the polls are fake.
If they are unfavourable to him, it means that the polls are real and that the black man is keeping us all down.
Watching republicans awkwardly trying to juggle polls is downright embarrassing.
Like having your mom trying to use slang around your friends.
It's never going to end well.
The Rothenberg Political Reports Nathan Gonzalez recently wrote that, Democrats might want to consider opening their minds to the potential of another midterm nightmare. A quick glance at the latest polls coming out of battleground states reveals that Gonzalez is onto something.
Lets have a look:
Michigan: This morning even a liberal PPP survey shows Terri Lynn Land leading Gary Peters by 2 points. More impressive is that PPPs sample was +5 Dem when it should be more like +1/2 Dem. As weve stressed, not only is Michigan in play, but the odds look even.
Arkansas: Politicos James Hohmann reports that Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor trails his Republican challenger, Rep. Tom Cotton, by seven points among likely voters in Arkansas, 48-41% . Cotton is ahead among independents by 21 points and among women by 4 points. As weve stressed, Mark Pryor is the most vulnerable Senator in America and appears to be running the Blanche Lincoln 2.0 playbook and that Arkansas is on a clear path to flip red in 2014.
Louisiana: Two weeks ago, a Southern Media poll showed that support for Mary Landrieu in Louisiana dropped more than 10 points amid the ObamaCare disaster. Now, the Louisiana blogger The Hayride reports that Many people thought the 41 percent she polled in last months SMOR survey was her floor; turns out it isnt Theres another poll out there on Landrieus re-election which isnt public, but it has Landrieu sitting well below 40 percent and without a lead on Bill Cassidy. As weve stressed, if Mark Pryor is the most vulnerable Senator in America, his neighbor to the south Mary Landrieu comes in 2nd for that title by a hair.
North Carolina: In November, a Civitas poll showed that half of North Carolina voters would not vote for Kay Hagan but would instead give someone else a chance at the office. Now, even a new liberal PPP survey (Disclaimer: PPP is a Hagan donor) shows Hagans approval rating underwater: 43/49%. As weve stressed, Kay Hagan is deeply embattled and the environment indicates more trouble ahead for the embattled Senato<more at the link>

Dead is also stable.
Despite numerous attempts to redirect the conversation from the health care debacle, Obama's ratings have not rebounded at all.
The pic of him at Mandela's funeral was priceless.
