Obama to push college affordability before KU visit
President Obama will propose expanding education tax credits to aid college students while ending one deduction. The plan backs a higher refundable portion of the American Opportunity Tax Credit and extends eligibility to part-time and nontraditional students, with five years of credit. It also targets Pell Grants, ROTC eligibility rules, and student debt relief options. The proposal, dense with changes, faces a skeptical Republican Congress.

Obama sees steady rise in polls ahead of State of the Union
As Barack Obama prepares his State of the Union address, polls show a sustained bump in his approval rating. The Washington Post/ABC News poll places 50 percent approving and 44 percent disapproving, a seven point rise since fall and the best showing in nearly two years. Gallup weekly averages show a narrowing deficit, signaling a trend rather than a blip.
