The NBC/WSJ Poll also showed Obama's approval rating at 45 percent, which is slightly less than the 47 percent it was a year ago. A majority of respondents--72 percent--say they like Obama personally, even those who don't like or disagree with his policies.
From NBC's First Read: "Here's the clear conclusion from our new NBC/WSJ poll: If the current political environment for President Obama has hit rock bottom, then his prospects for re-election are quite good. If it hasn't, then watch out. Despite all the bad news the White House has endured over the past several months -- an unemployment rate near 10%, the BP spill, the midterm results -- the president's standing has remained steady."
According to First Read, Obama appears to be benefitting from his strong base and his likability.
