The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken 9/8-11/06 finds approval at 42%, with disapproval at 53%. This is the fourth poll since 8/27 to find approval at 41% or 42%. That makes four of the last eight polls at 41 or 42. The last eight approval ratings are: 39, 41, 38, 41, 37, 42, 39, 42.
With the latest addition, my trend estimate of approval is now at 40.6%, the first time the approval trend has topped 40% in some long while. The last reading over 40% was 2/16/06. This continues to be quite a sharp and substantial upturn.
