Poll Analysis

Marist dropped two points (38%), ABC went up four points
(40%), NBC dropped four points (39%), and Quinnipiac went
up a point (41%) this period.

NPR stayed the same (favorability) (36% for and 57% against)
while the unfavorability went up two points, ABC's first poll
(32% / 61%), Gallup went down three points (38% / 59%) in the
new polls this period.

The large jump at ABC must be tempered with it being from
a poll three months ago.  The same size drop at NBC is of
more interest as it is between two recent polls.  A poll
at Quinnipian with a one point raise is more significant.
