It looks like folks approve of Obama this week. That must make him happy. Time for another vacation? Erm.. nvm... heh
I think this literally covers the main reason for the change, in that second paragraph. Obama has insured he is as much a center of events, when events are good, as he can possibly make himself. Whether he had anything to do with it or not, is another matter, and I am reminded that this President clearly stated Marriage was a religious agreement between man and woman. In any sense of truth...Obama had nothing but political pressure to contribute to the last week's events. Still...Lighting the White House in rainbow colors is a hard image to forget, isn't it?
In this way though, I find it interesting. LGBT community members flat out don't number enough, in any sense and by their own best estimates of 5-8% of the population...to cause this bump in a national opinion rating. Not alone. So the changes the Super Court have caused or affirmed this week seem to have struck the public well, and perhaps overdue?
In Obamacare, the immediate fears (and they were real ones among some that depend on the medical system right now) of a medical collapse have passed for a period, anyway. Even average people can figure out what the result would have been if a core requirement of the financial structure had been invalidated. Then of course, Gay Marriage....and perhaps it is covering the many millions beyond the LGBT individuals. This was a good week for family to see some have equal civil rights in this area as well I'd imagine.
This is confusing, or is a sign of general public ignorance fed by a media that considers ignorance an important factor for their marketing and profits. Recovery? Yeah.. We've had one. The Government Sector has exploded. Places like Denver, Washington D.C. (and the whole surrounding region), and our World Class cities (New York, L.A. and Seattle..etc) have been doing well. At the same time, this is repeatedly referred to as a jobless recovery because while numbers stagnate or move a bit upward, business continues to close and move offshore to escape a growing hostile regulatory environment.
It makes for a 'WTF?!' moment, until you look at a near doubling of debt for how many trillion have been added since Jan. 2009. When Government literally throws money at issues, without thinking out solutions....busy work makes for economic activity in perpetual crisis. As long as they keep a balance from falling over to calamity, then crisis is profitable, and it has been.

Now this is one that boggles my mind to no end. The objective numbers show Black people in this nation as worse off, in many ways, than they were before the 'First black president' entered the scene. Higher per category unemployment, lower per category home ownership and we need not go into the state of inner city economics or crime situations.
Blacks also haven't historically embraced Spanish or the hispanic culture...as illegal immigration, by design, is creating a situation where Blacks become a smaller minority than they were before. Significantly so, in more than one area right now.
So in the mix....and these different signs overlapping right now (and I left out A LOT, of course), Obama's approval bumps up to the highest its been since May of 2013. Go figure.
I guess it makes its own kind of sense, given everything else going wacky these days.
After months of stagnant approval ratings, a new CNN/ORC poll finds that for the first time in more than two years, 50% of Americans approve of the way Obama is handling the presidency. And his overall ratings are bolstered by increasingly positive reviews of his treatment of race relations and the economy.
The new poll follows a week in which two Supreme Court cases boosted the president's legacy by upholding the government subsidies at the heart of Obama's health care law, the Affordable Care Act, and affirming same-sex couples' right to marry. All this while Obama took several opportunities to directly address the nation's racial tensions, closing out the week by singing "Amazing Grace" on national television.

Obama's approval rating for handling the economy has also climbed, 52% approve in the new poll, compared with 46% who approved in the May survey. That's the first time approval for Obama's handling of the economy has topped 50% in CNN/ORC polling in nearly six years.

And African-Americans are more likely than they were 12 years ago to say they frequently face discrimination because of their race. Forty-five percent say they face discrimination in public or at their jobs once a month or more, including nearly a quarter (24%) who say they face discrimination daily. In a 2003 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll, 39% of African Americans said they faced discrimination at least monthly.
