The polls are all looking quite good for the President and the Democrats right now. This week’s Zogby Analytics Poll has the President moving up a point to 57% job approval. Above and beyond that number, likely voters give him higher marks than previously on most topics: the economy (51%), understanding the middle class (54%), health care (48%), education (58%), and immigration (50%). Even better, a solid majority (55%) are optimistic about the United States for the next four years, a plurality (48%-30%) feel that the Republicans should work with the President on his agenda, and more are likely to say they are doing better financially than worse in the past four years.
