Obama is still in his "honeymoon" phase with the American people, even as the economy continues to be in a deep recession and with small crowds across the country protesting against useful programs that would put Americans to work while adding only 4% to the taxes of the richest 2% of American taxpayers. As the article points out, the number of Americans that say the country is on the right track is at 48% as opposed to 40% that say we are not, the first time since January 2004 that has happened. Nearly 2/3 of Americans approve of Obama's performance as President.
Even with continued bad economic news, pirate attacks, and the teabagger protests that were covered extensively across the country, Obama is still popular because he seems to be optimistic and (get this!) is competently handling the nation's business to the best of his ability...something that for the last eight years people were not used to in Washington.
