A Washington Post­ABC News survey of 1,000 adults found that，for the first time，Obama's prospects have brightened against his potential rivals as his overall job approval rating climbed on his handling of the slowly recovering economy.

　　If the election were held now，Obama would win 51 percent of the vote compared to 45 percent for Romney，the former Massachusetts governor and current Republican frontrunner，according to the poll.He would win with 54 percent compared to 43 percent for Gingrich，the former speaker of the House of Representatives who has vowed to continue seeking his party's nomination.

　　The poll，conducted by telephone from February 1 through February 4，showed Obama won higher marks than Romney when it comes to protecting the middle class and taxes.Those polled also said they trusted Obama more to handle international affairs and terrorism.

　　But Obama and Romney tied(不分胜负)when it came to creating jobs and more of those surveyed said they trusted Romney to handle the economy and the federal budget deficit(赤字)．

　　In a statement，the Romney campaign's polling strategist，Neil Newhouse，said the survey was flawed and“introduced specific negative information about Governor Romney immediately prior to asking the ballot matchup against President Obama”．

　　The president's job approval rating rose to 50 percent，according to the survey，which has a sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
