Here is a reality check for those that are a bit over confident and a little encouragement for those that are disheartened.
Obama's favorability rating with voters is greater now than it was with two of our most popular recent presidents during the same time of their presidency.
In both Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton's 7th quarter they were at 41% favorability with voters, Obama was at 44% in his 7th quarter and is now rising back to 48% favorability with voters.
Repeat and focus; Barack Obama was at 44% in his 7th quarter. Ronald Reagan was at 41% in his 7th quarter.
I know the Obama to Clinton stat is pretty much nil for you Tea Partiers but the Reagan part of it bugs ya don't it? Good.....and we know what gives it that extra little punch don't we? Now maybe if you can get Michael Steele removed as Republican chairman you will be able to relieve some of that pressure.

Poll numbers don't change Obama's basic philosophy and values.
Hopefully the numbers will reinforce the values of helping poor and low-income families afford healthcare.
Since so many on the religious right seem to need an economic or self-centered based reason to help others consider Proverbs 21:13
