President Obama's approval rating at 20-month high, poll says

President Obama is enjoying a nice bounce in the polls heading into the new year.

With the economy ticking up and the president taking decisive action on immigration and Cuba, the latest CNN/ORC poll puts his approval rating at a 20-month high.

While 50 percent of Americans still do not approve of the president's job performance, 48 percent do approve. This is the highest level since May 2013.

President Obama is enjoying increased support among women, independents and millennials.
