Gallup: Obama Numbers Rebound

After dipping below 60% Tuesday for the first time as president, Obama's approval rating has rebounded to 67% following a positive reception of his Address to Congress Tuesday night, Gallup reports.

"The speech certainly came at an opportune time for Obama, but a recovery was easily achievable because the decline in his approval rating was accompanied by an increase in the percentage of Americans expressing no opinion, rather than an increase in the proportion disapproving of his performance in office," writes Gallup's Jeffrey M. Jones.

TOM ADDS: Obama's overall job approval in the RCP Average is 64.2%.
