As GOP race continues, voter confidence in Obama improves
By NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Amid better economic news, a declining unemployment rate, and an ongoing -- and combative -- Republican primary campaign, voter confidence in President Obama now stands at a nearly one-year high.
This comes after he reached his all-time low in September.
His score in the msnbc.com Voter Confidence Index is now -21, continuing a five-month trend of an improving VCI.
Besides immediately following Osama bin Laden’s death, the last time Obama’s score was this high was in January 2011.
