President Obama is the leader of the only sane party left in Washington, as was sadly illustrated by the horrible SCOTUS Hobby Lobby decision. At least, that's my guess as to the explanation for the bounce.
h/t @EricBoehlert for the tweet. As he points out, we probably won't hear much about this upswing from major media outlets. Cheers.
Update 1:
LincolnDuncan makes a good point in the comments:
* [new] Could also be the good economic numbers (59+ / 0-)
In any event, the Pres needs and deserves a boost heading into midterms.
