Obama's approval losses could be "offset by improved voter attitudes about the economy"

Tuesday, May 21, 2013 01:20 PM -0700

Citing a Tuesday poll from the Washington Post showing that President Obama’s approval on the economy is at 48 percent, up from 44 percent in April, Silver writes: “The economic mood may have been lifted by two highly visible indicators — record-breaking stock prices and rebounding housing prices — along with a series of improved jobs reports.”
