Half of the country approves of President Obama, according to a new poll released by Reuters and Ipsos with a plus/minus of 3.1 percent. The poll was conducted shortly after the announcement that the U.S. economy gained 227,000 jobs during February, and stands in contrast to several other recent polls which show the President’s popularity sliding. Many experts believe that recent spikes in gasoline prices could explain the discrepancy. (photo via Intel Photos) source
