Poll: Approval of Obama's economic efforts on the rise! (updated)

Good news you may have missed:

WASHINGTON (CNN) – As President Barack Obama gives a speech on the economy Monday in New York City, a new national poll indicates that a slight majority of Americans approve of the way the president is handling the issue.

Fifty-four percent of people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey (pdf) say they approve of how Obama's dealing with the recession, with 45 percent saying they disapprove. The 54 percent figure is up 5 points from late last month but down from the 59 percent
who approved of how the president was handing the economy in March.

In general, Obama has been either rebounding or staying steady in the polls. This is just further evidence that the public is beginning to realize that the economy is improving.

UPDATE: Gallup came out some new figures:
