Obama up, health-care opposition softens
by Mark Silva
Another new read on President Barack Obama's post-address-to-a-joint-session-of-Congress public-approval ratings:
58 percent, in a survey conducted by CNN/Opinion Research on Friday through Sunday. That's up from 53 percent at the end of August.
The president's disapproval rating was down to 40 percent, from 45 percent in the Aug. 28-31 survey.
The trend, if not the number, mirros what Gallup has found (Obama's approval rating up from 51 percent on the day of the president's speech to Congress to 53 percent today, in the latest results of daily tracking), and similar to what ABC News and the Washington Post have found, up from 51 in the last survey to 54 percent in a poll released today.
The president gets higher ratings for his handling of the economy in the new CNN/Opinion Research poll54 percent, compared with 49 percent two weeks ago.
But perhaps more significant, from the White House's perspective, will be the president's rating on handling of health care policy: 51 percent in the new survey, up from 44 percent at the end of August.
The poll also asked: "From everything you have heard or read so far, do you favor or oppose Barack Obama's plan to reform health care?''
And the needle hasn't moved much here: 51 percent said they favor it in the latest survey, up from 48 percent two weeks ago.
Opposition, however, had turned from 51 percent two weeks ago to 46 percent in the latest survey.
The CNN-sponsored survey of 1,012 adults conducted Sept. 11-13 carries a possible margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.
