CNN Poll: Romney Favorability Surges
Made popular 427 days ago in Politics
newsmax.com — Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's popularity is starting to rebound as the divisiveness of the Republican primaries subsides, according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Tuesday.

The survey showed 44 percent give Romney a favorable rating, up 10 percentage points since February, which was during some of the most acrimonious sniping among GOP candidates. Romney's unfavorable rating fell 11 points, from 54 percent to 43 percent, over the same period.

The poll also showed 53 percent of those surveyed say they plan to give Romney a second look once the primaries are over, while 45 percent say they know enough about the former Massachusetts governor to decide whether he would be a good president.

The same poll shows that President Barack Obama's favorability rating -- a measure of his personal popularity -- is 56 percent, but the approval rating of his performance in office is 49 percent. No president since Harry Truman in 1948 has won re-election with an approval rating below 50 percent.

The poll results come as Romney scored two major endorsements from the GOP House and Senate leaders.
