New polls good news for Obama

[wade52]

The only poll with results that count is the one 15 1/2 months from now. That poll will also be good news for Obama.

Washington Post-ABC News Poll (washingtonpost.com)

How is this good news for Obama ? The people just like the congress less than him .
This is the poll from the article , its where somehow, bad reporters get "good news" .

Most of the polls are 60-40 negative.

No good news , not for the citizens .

-6 in today's Gallup - time to pull bin laden out of the freezer and give him another whack with a 5-iron?

Taken together, the two polls indicate Obama is winning the battle for public opinion with the GOP over the economy.

Awesome news Gurbie!

He can put those stats on his resume when he goes looking for a new job in 2013.

But the poll results that show people believe he's on the side of the middle class, and that they support him in the conflict with the GOP over the debt ceiling. These are clear signs he is winning the political argument.

Ringing up the national debt and writing tax code making it more difficult to get a middle income job, is positive to the middle class? WRONG..

It shows that the middle class has no problem with SOMEONE ELSE paying the bills, and DONT CARE about the ramifications, or who will pay for their greed.

Yeah, RCP has turned brutal for him, and it ain't just Rasmussen: -9 in CNN! His best showing in recent days is Fox at -1!

[Edit] There hasn't been any right track/wrong track polling yet this week - the next ones could be interesting!
