If the recession clears up fast, but not too fast, Obama will be enormously popular. Reagan had a deep recession early in his presidency, then it cleared up in a year or so, the timing was good so people viewed him as creating a boom. When will voters figure out that there’s such a thing as a business cycle?
Obama is already enormously popular, just by the fact that he’s not Bush. 😉 Ending the recession would just be icing on the cake.
