also _above water_

However, these numbers started to slip back at the end of the month.  Obama
went "above water" when the unemployment news was made public at the
beginning of the month, which held right up until the last few days of
February, when Obama's approval/disapproval tied at 48.1 (on the 27th), went
underwater for a day at 48.1/48.4, and then recovered on the final day of
the month, barely above the waves at 48.6/48.3.  He thus enters March
struggling not to cross back over again. Chris Weigant, "Obama Poll
Watch...," Political Machine (Nexis), March 6, 2012, p not given
