Obama Approval Continues to Climb
A new CNN/Opinion Research survey finds President Obama’s approval rating has steadily risen over the past two months, from 48% in early April to 52% in early May and the current mark of 54%.
Notes pollster Keating Holland: “On specific issues, the president’s approval rating is over 50% on only three out of 11 items tested, and all three — terrorism, Afghanistan, and Iraq — are foreign or security issues. But his approval rating on every domestic issue listed in the poll is well below 50 and on most of them — including the economy, health care, taxes, and the budget deficit — his rating has remained flat or dropped since the start of the year.”
Quote of the Day
“There will be more strong candidates jumping in. Truly, there is still a lot of time for folks to make up their minds and jump in and get their campaigns together. The field isn’t set yet. Not by a long shot.”
— Sarah Palin, quoted by the New York Times, on the Republican presidential field.
