Debatable question. I can see it cutting several ways. Obama gets some credit, but he is not running for election. That said ,it might take voters minds off the bungled OCare roll out, helping Dems. Tea Partiers might be able to say it was their doing-sequester caused it!! (they are not above that weird logic). Maybe moderates will say a budget deal did it.
It would definitely help the deficit, and unemployment numbers, but I am not sure how that all plays for the fall elections.

Stock Market is up big under Obama, so is QE money creation to keep interest rates down, which helps the stocks.
Other numbers to look at since the "recovery" started:
-Decreasing Ratio of Full Time Jobs in Economy (Part time usually doesn't offer benefits)
-Increasing Poverty Rate
-Decreasing Median Household Income
-Increasing Number on Food Stamps
-Decreasing Labor Participation for those 25 to 54
Politically, if anything other than the Earth cracking in half and plummeting into the Sun happens, Obama wins, or at least the media will portray it that way. Take the wretched failure of ObamaCare, and look how they twist and gyrate to turn that into the greatest success of all time. No no, this guy is wrapped in a warm fuzzy blanket of mainstream media adoration, so he'll need to execute one of his own children while on a crack bender and post it on YouTube for anyone in the HuffPo/MSNBC media to care, and even then they'd probably blame the entire thing on Republicans being racist or Dick Cheney planning it all. OBAMA ALWAYS WINS.
Economically - anytime anything economic gets better, particularly if it were on net and more than just the Fed continually huffing and puffing QE air to keep the stock market inflated, everyone benefits.

Discuss.
No matter how good the economy may get rightwingers will never give Obama credit for anything, they simply hate the man.
