There has been a jump in the approval ratings of Obama and the democrats after the election. At the same time, and understandably so, the Republican party's approval rating remained the same as it was before the election. In a recent gallup poll Obama's favourability rose to 58% from 55% and the democrats were at 51% up from 46% before the election.

What does this mean for Obama as he starts his second term as President of the United States? Perhaps voters are comfortable with the results of the presidential election and hopeful for the future under the Obama administration.
