Obama approval numbers are still healthy

Hmm... this might actually come as a surprise to some:

Fifty-five percent of Americans approve of how Obama's handling his duties in the White House, according to the CNN Poll of Polls, which averaged the six national surveys taken since the president addressed a joint session of Congress on September 9. Thirty-nine percent, on average, disapprove.

The 55 percent approval rating is almost identical to the 54 percent mark that Obama had in August, according to an average of national surveys conducted last month. "The early part of the summer was a bad time for Obama, whose average approval dropped 7 points during that period. But since then, his average approval rating has stabilized in the mid 50s," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

This is all pretty surprising. I mean, conservatives have been telling us for weeks that Obama is "tanking" and half of the country is in ruins. We're subjected on a daily basis to the assertion that the American people are "fed up" with the "corrupt" Obama administration. Just like with the death panel lie, they think if they repeat it enough, it will actually come true.

Sorry, it doesn't work that way.
