President Obama tops Republican Mitt Romney in a head-to-head matchup by seven points 46-39% according to the latest Fox News poll-mainly because American voters feel more positive about the economy. Check out these highlights:

2. Obama has 88% of Dems support and Romney gets 84% of the con vote
3. Obama spanks Romney with women 55% to 33%.
4. 74% Obama voters are satisfied with him while only 59% of Romney voters are satisfied.
5. Obama approval 49% - 47% disapprove
6. Highest Fox approval since May 2011, after the raid that killed OBL
7. To Obamas advantage, voters feel the economy is improving.
8. The number saying the economy is in poor condition has dropped 14 percentage points from a year ago. The number saying its in better shape is up 11 points.
9. On his handling of Afghanistan: 53% approve.

I can't believe they would even show that poll unless they think it will cause Obama to become over-confident and slow down his campaigning.
Did I say I don't trust FOX?
