New AP Poll...


Americans a little more upbeat about future

According to a new AP poll, Americans who believe the country is headed in the right direction (48 percent) outnumber those who believe it’s headed in the wrong direction (44 percent). It’s the first time that has happened in five years.

Obama’s approval/disapproval numbers are still more than 2-1 (64-30); congressional approval/disapproval numbers are still bad (38/57) but also still improving (it was 22/74 in October.)

On the economy, 50 percent say they approve what congressional Democrats are doing; 45 disapprove. The numbers for Republicans are disastrous — 29 percent approval, 65 percent disapproval — and have worsened since February.
