President Obama's approval ratings going up right along with confidence in the economy.

President Barack Obama's approval rating is shifting back toward positive territory, as the public's take on the economy hits a new high mark for Obama's tenure, according to a new CNN/ORC poll. 

For the first time since May of 2013, more Americans polled say they have a positive impression of how Obama is handling the presidency than a negative one: 48% approve of the way Obama is handling his job, while 47% disapprove. 

While the share saying they approve is not significantly larger than the share disapproving, it's a notable shift in perceptions of Obama's presidency. 

Obama's numbers are on the rise at the same time the public gives the economy the highest ratings of his presidency. 

The poll finds 52% describe the U.S. economy as very or somewhat good, while 48% call it very or somewhat poor. That marks the first time since Obama took office that significantly more people describe the economy as "good" than "poor," and only the second time since then that a majority has described the nation's economy as "good." 

The last time significantly more Americans called the economy "good" than "poor" in CNN/ORC polling was September 2007.

You know considering how the Right Wing goes after the President on a constant basis, it is almost a miracle that his numbers are even this high. And those numbers for the economy are nothing short of miraculous, considering where we were when Obama took office.

Speaking of the Right Wing how are the Republicans faring in the polls?

You know at this rate President Obama might crack 50 or even 60% approval before he leaves office, while Congressional Republicans look like they are headed toward negative numbers.
