Both parties play the numbers. It should be no surprise that a big deal is made by Obama's current numbers. After all he won over a guy who had a 38% approval rating.
It is interesting that both Bush presidencies had historically the some of the highest and lowest approval ratings of any presidency.
It didn't help when Obama gave himself a B+ on Oprah's Christmas at the White House show. A B- would have been more appropriate.
The good news is that the Republicans, even if they do take the Hill again will have a hard time rolling back the social progress we made this year.
