66% Approval

President Obama's approval rating hits 66% in the latest NYT/CBS poll. His highest since taking the office. Confidence is trending up in the economy, the European trip went well, the "surprise" trip to Iraq and picking the NCAA champ Tar Heels, all in one week.

What about the other side:

By contrast, just 31 percent of respondents said they had a favorable view of the Republican Party, the lowest in the 25 years the question has been asked in New York Times/CBS News polls.

Ouch.

Still very tough times ahead of us. But what a difference having a bright guy at the top. The trust level is growing. Now bring on the big issues.
