Despite recent reports that President Obama’s popularity is in decline, a recent poll shows his approval ratings are actually on the rise. According to an Associated Press-GfK poll, 56 percent of those surveyed in the past week approve of Mr. Obama’s job performance, up from 50 percent in September. President Obama enjoyed record approval numbers at the time of his inauguration, but those numbers have been in steady decline since that time. But this is the first time since he took office in January that his ratings have gone up.
