Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll has Obama over 50% approval

[wyldwolf]

The latest Allstate/National Journal Heartland Monitor poll finds President Obama's approval rating rose to 51%, up from only 44% in each of the previous polls taken in October and December.

"That's Obama's highest approval rating in the Heartland Monitor since the survey taken immediately after the killing of Osama bin Laden in May. Other than that, the new survey marks the first time that Obama's approval rating in the poll has crossed the critical 50 percent threshold since September 2009."

This survey completely contradicts a CBS/NYT poll earlier this week that found Obama's approval sinking to a new low.
