Obama's job approval rises after declining since inauguration; war support declines
President Barack Obama's approval ratings are starting to rise after declining ever since his inauguration, new poll figures show as the country's mood begins to brighten. But concerns about the economy, health care and war persist, and support for the war in Afghanistan is falling.
An Associated Press-GfK poll says 56 percent of those surveyed in the past week approve of Obama's job performance, up from 50 percent in September. It's the first time since he took office in January that his rating has gone up.
People also feel better about his handling of the economy and his proposed health care overhaul.
But not about the war.
Support for the war in Afghanistan has declined, the poll said Tuesday. And approval of Obama's handling of it is holding steady — in contrast to his gains in other areas — as he considers a big troop increase there. Poll respondents narrowly oppose the increase.

Obama's approval numbers this month almost completely stopped the slide they've been experiencing since June -- but not totally, as they were down a tenth of a percent to 52.7 percent.
:dunno:
From its inception, America has always been about people with principles overcoming staggering odds to free themselves from bloated authoritarians. Patriots stood up to the British Empire; they should have no problem dealing with the left-wing weenies and the polls show it.
With Obama’s ratings having tanked since inauguration day, and being dominated by Democrats just 13% of likely voters now say Congress is doing a good or excellent job, the left wing weenies have got some “CHANGES” to make.
