A bit more on the bounce, from politicususa.com:



President Obama is beginning 2014 on the upswing as millions are signing up for the ACA, and his approval rating has increased by 5 points according to Gallup. The Gallup Obama approval daily tracking poll reveals that the president’s approval rating has jumped five points since the days before Christmas from 39%-44%. Disapproval of the president has fallen from 54%-49%. President Obama’s approval numbers shift wildly based on the tone of the media coverage that he is receiving, but media’s negativity was hiding a convergence of positive things. Now that the ACA website is repaired, and millions of Americans are signing up, the media’s endless drumbeat of negativity has temporarily stopped. Without the Republican fueled Obama bashing from the corporate media, the president’s approval rating has gone up, and his disapproval rating has gone down.

w0000000000t! Though I'd like to see President Obama's approval rating climb even more, maybe to over 50%, FSM (and MSM) willing.

Yesterday, on New Years's Eve, the Department of Health and Human Services released this statement:



...We are encouraged that over 6 million people have been enrolled in Marketplace or Medicaid coverage since October 1, and will work to give millions more Americans the peace of mind that comes with health security in the months ahead.

And guess what - all that coverage started TODAY!

Update 1:

From LincolnDuncan in the comments:



The bounce is bigger than the headline indicates. It's a net + 10, as Obama's disapproval number went down five with his approval going up 5. Sometimes the approval gain can come from fence sitters; here the switch is from negative to positive, which is very promising.
