In spite of all the scare-tactics by the Republicans and the misleading stories in the news media, a majority of Americans approve of the president’s handling of the so-called “Ebola Outbreak.”
A new Washington Post-ABC News poll shows Americans approve of Obama’s handling of the situation, 49 percent to 41 percent. His approval rating is up eight points from just two weeks ago, mostly thanks to people moving from “undecided” column into the more favorable one.
Obama still doesn’t have majority support on the issue, but it’s his highest approval rating on any given issue since he hit 50 percent on combating the Islamic State last month. Prior to that, he hadn’t hit 50 percent — or even 49 percent — on an issue since January.
