HUH? Obama won 9 of the top ten earning US states, which also represent the same percentage of the most educated states.
The attached list shows the 5 most and least educated, and they divide out as blue for the former, red for the latter.
Naw...the economy is all Bush's fault and the evil GOP even though the GOP only has the house and not the senate and White House. Seems the libs and the American people forgot that we have three different branches here and the GOP only controls one. The Dems control two. The last time I checked, two is bigger than one, so who should we be blaming here?
IT'S BUSH'S FAULT. BUSH'S FAULT!!!!! Naw...it just takes a long time to improve an economy.:r olleyes: Like 5 years or so.:rolley es:
Dont fall for that BS.
When republicans believe(believe,not know) they are right, they say everything is the fault of the democrats. When believe they are wrong, they say that its everyone's fault.
The truth is, that the slow recovery of the last 3 years is mostly their fault. You can blame Obama for caving on key issues.
I think you're right here. Bama naively thought the opposition was not out to get him and thought he could bargain, or did he just get whatever he could? I don't know.
There is a tactic used by many people - when right, take the credit, when wrong, spread the blame.

Okay Rush, you want low-information voters? Here is your audience. Meet America
What happens when one depends on Fox for "news"? Yet Another Survey: Fox News Viewers Worst-Informed, NPR Listeners Best-Informed | Mediaite
In other words Fox verifies certain people's perceptions, and they do it for profit - nothing else. BTW you didn't know that, for the most part, the govt-hating red states are the biggest welfare queens?
You see, Romney looked like the consummate businessman regardless of his past record and the fact that he was wealthy in the cradle. Candidate
That's BS, complaining about republicans is just cover for Obama's failures.
Wrong. President Obama has succeeded beyond expectations given the blatant and offensively partisan obstruction of the Republican Party, a culmination of thirty-five years of increasing self-centered, anti-social behavior by the GOP.

You are either prevaricating by denial, or are utterly unaware of current events.

You do realize, I hope, that the term of a President is 4 years, not 2 years. Or is that more of the aforementioned prevaricating by denial that the Republicans are promoting among their supporters? Regardless, there is no rational way to deny the success of the President's efforts in digging this country out of the economic mess that Republicans drove it into, despite every last bit of energy that Republicans have exerted to damage this country further in the interest of self-centered, partisan priggishness.
The Republicans continue to double- triple- and quadruple-down on selfish reactionaryism and immoral greed-mongering.
Tax rates historically low. Economy improving, and unemployment for college educated is below 5%. Slow recovery from financial devastation of prior admin. Stock market fully rebounded. Decade of wars unwinding. Healthcare becoming available for more people. Social issues favored by many being moved forward.
I'm not trying to convince anyone to agree, but the OP asked why the President's favorability is up, and those are probably some of the reasons.
It is a reflection of the fact that the average IQ of Americans is below 100. The majority of US citizens are idiots, as reflected by the election of Obama in 2012.

For reference, the average IQ of Americans is 98. The average IQ for Obama voters in this data is 99.8 and the average IQ for Romney voters is 98.8. The average IQ of the counties represented is 99.2.
...
Quite frankly, despite the fact that this data shows a slight preference among voters in lower IQ counties to prefer Mr. Romney, and voters in higher IQ counties to prefer Mr. Obama, my take-away is that IQ was not a significant factor in determining the outcome of the 2012 presidential election, or at least that this data doesn't show a significant correlation.
