The latest NBC poll shows widely varying public opinion views of President Barack Obama.
57 percent like his foreign policy, a tremendous boost after the successful elimination of Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan.
52 percent overall like the job performance of Obama, which is higher than it has been since early in his term.
But only 37 percent are happy with his economic policies, and that is a danger sign for the President. And certainly, the GOP is not going to do anything to help change the economic picture, as that is the best issue to use against the President.
With 18 months to the election, one has to think back to the first President Bush, who had 91 percent in the polls after the Gulf War, but collapsed to 37 percent in the actual voting percentage a year and a half later in 1992.
So Obama cannot bask in the glory about Osama Bin Laden’s death, as the truth still is what Bill Clinton used as his campaign slogan in 1992 against Bush–“It’s the economy, stupid!”
