It was a poll

So you want to think that a poll is the same as the gov releasing unemployment numbers

By and large more people will be working. Keep in mind this is mostly to pay off a deficit that is by and large the fault of Bush.

I didnt love Bush But wait isnt Obama going around saying hes gave out the largest tax cuts in history and arent we still paying for the war. So you are complaining about Bush doing something while ignoring that Obama said hes done it more then Bush. So shouldnt you be complaining about Obama doing it instead of Bush ( tax cuts) More like credits
The Obama tax cuts were a product of Keynes Economics. The notion that more money people get back, they more likely they'll spend it. Come next year money shouldn't be as tight.

LOl yeah you're going to be the only person in america that is going to keep the work to pay credit and you are exempt from helping pay his 670+ Billion in new taxes starting next year lol

You are sitting here bragging about a gallup poll that isnt an official statement of our unemployment lol
Considering this forum is littered with anti-Obama threads (many of which aren't backed up with facts), I figured I'd throw in a credible 2 cents.

It is not "why" specifically, but the fact that the economy may be showing a hint or two of improving, without an increase in Obamas ratings, sort of confirms what I said.

But it is way too early to tell. After all, it is POSSIBLE, that being a sanctimonious, freedom hating, ray sist, captialist-hating, socialist/communist loving SOB as Presidient is a good thing!!!!!

Considering Gallup is historically the most accurate and trusted of all pollsters, I'll favor them. And remember when Obama released fiscal figures for last year, everybody on the right in here was libid about how they were supposedly fixed and skewed and how they wouldn't trust anything from the government.

As another rightwinger in here pointed out, it was 46% a month ago, 51% today.

Rep points say you can't prove any of those claims.

So that means I can go back as far as 8 mths
The mean average has been at or around 50% for the last 8 months. That isn't to say it's dipped up or down a few points in that time span.

Keep dreaming. When almost 50% of this nation doesnt pay any income tax. Unless all those going back to work are part of the half that actually pays taxes

Waaahh Obama raised taxes. Waaahh Obama doesn't tax enough people. Want a piece of cheese with that wine?

It's part of the plan (see Keynes economics). If you don't like it I suggest you read up about it. He actually has a fiscal plan unlike Bush, who essentially cut taxes just for his own political bragging right.
