Dear Washington Post, It's 'suddenly' only for those not paying attention. Best, Retiring Guy

Washington Post, 5/21/2016

According to Real Clear Politics tracking of the President's approval/disapproval ratings, Obama reached his lowest point during the past 365 days on November 23, 2015, with an average approval rating of 42.9%.  On March 9, 2016, his average approval rating moved into the black for the first time since May 23, 2013.  His current average approval rating is 6 percentage points higher than it was 5 months ago.

Best to look at the overall trend, Philip, rather than to get all swung around with the results of individual polls.
