we are. she's expected to go to the national military park, the battlefield here in gettysburg, later on this morning. nevertheless, this has been a much more than a family vacation. they could have rented an rv, right? all day yesterday, she was leading reporters on a game of cat and mouse, her staff revealing few details about where she was headed. she started the day at the national archives, went to mount vern vernon, and then to baltimore to fort mchenry and then gettysburg where she finally stopped, all leading to speculation she is making a run for the white house. obviously she was asked along the way, as you noted, before coming to me, that she was asked about whether or not she's running for president several times. when we finally had a chance to catch up with her here in gettysburg, she was asked the question about the overall presidential field on the gop side, does she think it's weak, strong? she thinks that the field is pretty strong, but that there may be room

about a possible cease-fire. heard late in the day yesterday, this comes as nato says that that she is going to be off to gadhafi's four decade rule is iowa, perhaps, as early as next coming to an end. the italian government says that month. obviously we have been reporting that there's a new movie that a eight libyan generals and more than 100 soldiers have fled conservative filmmaker has put libya and defected to italy. out about sarah palin that is and a bounce for president set to debut in iowa next month. obama after the death of osama all of this has a feel of a bin laden. his approval rating up six presidential rollout, much more than a family vacation. points since early april to 54% whether or not the ultimate in the latest cnn opinion destination is 1600 pennsylvania avenue, there are a whole lot of research poll. and the numbers show has primaries and elections between republicans to thank for that. now and then to decide that, ed henry is live at the white guys. >> and a key debate, jim acosta, house for us this morning. thanks very much, with or hey, ed. >> good morning, kiran. you're right, the president's without sarah palin on january -- i'm sorry. approval rating up 12 points among republicans. what? i'm having a rough morning. just in the last few weeks. on june 13th, monday june 13th, what might be behind that? clearly as you mentioned, two weeks from yesterday, cnn is terrorism, his approval ratings going to host the new hampshire on handling of terrorism and those issues, has gone up. presidential debate as gop hopefuls gather to go for the specifically, the raid on osama party's nomination. bin laden, the killing of osama those who have declared. bin laden, has helped him with that is monday, june the 13th, republicans, independents and democrats. look at these numbers, approval 2011. on handle of terrorism, 65%, >> fun in the sun in chicago. >> i have completely lost all disapproval 34%. ability. look on the issue of taxes, i'm off timing. >> whoever jumps in the race president's approval, 46%, will face an opponent climbing in the poll numbers. disapproval 53%. speaking about our president. taxes normally an issue where a the approval for barack obama is democratic president would have up six points from early april much lower approval numbers, but with republicans coming to him to 54% in the latest cnn opinion ever so slightly on issues like research corporation poll. >> ed henry live at the white terror he's evened it out. even on issues like taxes house. getting high marks for handling normally friendly to republicans. terrorism and foreign affairs, >> the fact that there's no not so long after there was a key aide quoted as saying he was clear-cut gop challenger i imagine that also -- for 2012, leading from behind. must be working in his favor. suddenly that completely turned >> we were in europe last week. around, didn't it? >> no doubt about it. the president is on the i think the green lighting of international stage again touting his credentials as the osama bin laden operating commander in chief with no real clearly has given the president republican shadow boxing one on a bit of a bump if you look at that approval rating you one. it's a muddled field. the silver lining, though, for mentioned up to 54%, specifically look at these republicans in our latest poll numbers on terrorism, his is look at the president's approval on terrorism, 65% approval ratings on jobs, the approve, 34% disapprove. economy and gas prices. even on an issue like taxes approval on the economy 41%, disapproval 58%. which republicans traditionally approval on gas prices, only 25% have the upper hand on, approve 46% for the president dishgs approval, 73% disapprove of his approve, 53%. that's the kind of spread handling of the issue of gas prices. usually would be much bigger that's obviously because those divide in the republican favor. gas prices are high, they traditionally come up in the it's close to 50/50. spring and summer months. when you look big picture this likely to come back down. president has seen his approval rating go up among republicans but it shows you that as much as in the last few weeks by 12 the president may be riding high on terror and national security points. so he has republicans to thank right now, he's still very soft for this bounce a little bit on the economy and gas prices. because, perhaps, on the issue once the republicans have a of terrorism and then as well as nominee they have a chance here taxes, he's getting higher marks to really soften him up. right now he's riding high. than the republicans who have a >> all right. ed, thanks very much for that. muddled field right now. we'll check in with you later. >> ed, the
