WASHINGTON, D.C. (YBH.ME) – President Obama’s approval rating is back over the majority mark according to Gallup’s latest tracking poll. The President’s numbers now stand at 51% Approval with 42% Disapproval.
Obama back over 50% approval!
Real Clear Politics also has President Obama over the 50% mark in their latest poll. However, it is by the slightest margin at 50.1%. The President’s numbers are lowest at Rasmussen with 46% of respondents approving of the President’s performance and 54% disapproving.
Overall, the President’s popularity continues to trend downward as a controversial health care takeover is contemplated in the senate and a troop build up in Afghanistan was announced this week. Both issues have made the President unpopular with different segments of the American public.
