Obama Approval on the Rise

You might not notice it from the coverage the President has been receiving in the establishment media, but according to Gallup, Barack Obama's approval rating is now higher than it has been in over two months:
With a 56 percent approval rating in Gallup polling -- exactly the same percentage of backing the President receives in the latest CBS News poll (.pdf) -- Barack Obama now sports better numbers than he has since early August. Indeed, if you look at the Pollster.com trend estimate (either the traditional reading or the more sensitive one aimed at picking up the latest movement), you'll see that President Obama's approval rating is moving upwards and his disapproval rating is moving downwards -- not at all a bad position to be in heading into the final sprint of the healthcare reform process.
