[QUOTE="klein, post: 896850, member: 23950"] Sorry, is [B]47%[/B] approval ! President Barack Obama's job approval rating has moved up from negative to even over the last month -- and he would still beat all the current Republican presidential contenders, some by double-digit margins, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday. In early October, 41% of those polled approved of the job Obama is doing while 55% gave him the thumbs down. The more recent survey had the public split evenly at 47% on each side. Obama "seems to be improving in voters' eyes almost across-the-board," said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. "He scores big gains among the groups with whom he has had the most problems -- whites and men." Against his likely 2012 challengers, Obama beats former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney 47% to 42% while Texas Gov. Rick Perry would lose 52% to 36% and pizza chain executive Herman Cain trails 50% to 40%. [/QUOTE]
