CNN/ORC Poll on Obama

++I credit this to having Obama front and center without the filter of his party or the elections.

++CNN/ORC shows Obama's approval rating at a 20-month high. He is at 48% approval, the highest since May 2013. With women he has jumped 9 points within a month and increased his approval rating among millenials. Among women, he now stands at 53% approval rating.

++51% of Americans now see the economy in a positive light compared to 38% in October. 

++Basically leadership matters and his taking strong steps on Cuba, immigration and climate change add up.

++Andrew Sullivan at The Dish writes today about how Obama is famous for having good fourth quarters. He recalls the desultory campaign against Hillary Clinton where he just walked along picking up delegates and then came on strong for the general election in 2008. The same can be said about the 2012 election where he started wobbly and picked up momentum. I hope for all our sakes Andrew is right about the last two years.
