Obama Skyrockets As More Americans Approve Than Disapprove Of The President
President Obama’s job approval rating continues to
skyrocket as a new Gallup poll has found that more Americans approve
than disapprove to the president.
According to the Gallup Daily Tracking poll,
President Obama’s job approval rating is a net (+1) as 48% of Americans
approve of the job that the president is doing while 47% disapprove. The
most recent result is the first time since September 2013 that the
president’s Gallup job approval rating has been higher than his
disapproval rating. The president’s approval rating has been on a steady
rise over the past month. It is clear that the perception of the
president’s job performance is changing.
Here is Obama’s approval trendline via Gallup:
The Gallup data is backed up by a recent CBS News poll that showed the president’s job approval rating surging to a twelve month high, and back on even ground at 46%-46%. President Obama’s approval also reached a 20 month high in the latest CNN/ORC poll.
The momentum has become undeniable. President Obama
is the rare second term president who is gaining in popularity. Obama’s
approval rating turnaround makes a lot of sense because unlike most
presidents: Barack Obama inherited an economic crisis when he came into
office. As the economy has improved, the president’s job approval rating
has improved. With gas prices plunging at a record pace, the American
people see tangible signs that the economy has improved. Hiring is up,
gas prices are down, and President Obama is getting the credit.
