Obama approval rating up to 53%

Posted by | March 29, 2016 08:55 | Filed under: Good News Politics


This is what you get for not acting like a lame duck president and doing what you know is right.

According to the latest Gallup Daily Tracking Poll, President Obama’s job approval rating has reached a new high of 53%.

President Obama gained a point from his approval rating during last week’s Gallup Daily Tracking Poll, and his job approval ratings have completely reversed from where they were one year ago at this time. In March of 2015, President Obama’s approval rating split was 44% approve and 51% disapprove for a net rating of (-7).

Obama’s current approval rating is 53% with a disapproval rating of 44%, which is a net (+9) approval rating. Obama’s approval rating has been steadily growing since mid-January 2016, and more recently, the President has added a point to his approval rating in each of the past three weeks.

There has been a great deal of speculation about why President Obama is getting more popular. Part of the reason for the uptick in his numbers is the economy. Gas prices are low, the economy is growing, and the general economic climate is vastly improved from the days of the Bush’s Great Recession.

      “When the playing field is leveled and the process is fair and open, it turns out that we have term limits. They’re called elections.”

    BHO44’s approval skyrockets! As Americans see the two pretend POTUS guys presented by the globally and domestically divisive GOP.

    Does more in a week than Congress does in a term.

    it’s ALL his own fault!

    Stop doing such an excellent job as POTUS, Mr. President, and see how long your approval rating stays above 50%!

      At the end of his tenure, Dubya’s approval was at 34%. And that’s according to Fox.

    I think his nomination of a decent moderate judge and the recent attacks in Brussels may be helping also. Perhaps some knuckleheads are realizing just what they have now as opposed to what could possibly move from the right into the Oval office and are looking at things more carefully.

      President Obama is pretty much right of center. He orders the systematic killing of our enemies, has deported record number of undocumented, and tried to appoint a moderate judge. It makes you wonder what it is about him that causes the GOP to resist each and every effort he makes.

        In case you haven’t noticed, he’s black.

        He has deported a record number of criminal that were undocmented…that is a good thing.

        President Obama is not right of center and either is Hillary. That is a Sanders campaign talking point.

        • William March 29th, 2016 at 15:29

          Oh I think he is, however in todays America, Reagan would be called a liberal and run out of town. That’s how extreme the right has become. The right tried to repeal the ACA 60 plus times, two trips to the supreme court and even threats of impeachment, while at the same time they were trying to elect that Matt, Mort, Mitch, Romney-something or another, who actually INVENTED Obamacare. Lets face it. There is no other logical reason for the hate and obstruction. It’s simple racism.

            We can disagree on that. The rest of your comment is not only funny, but very true! Let me take this opportunity to tell you how much I enjoy those things you make everyday that I can’t remember the word for. The photos with the sarcastic sayings. Thanks for doing those. You are very good at it.

    It’s the media trying to save his legacy. They are able to manipulate any way they want. I don’t know anyone who doesn’t absolutely HATE Obama except for black people and if you polled all of them his approval rate would be 100%

    • whatthe46 March 29th, 2016 at 13:44

      if that’s not the dumbest statement ever.

    • tracey marie March 29th, 2016 at 13:45

      not everyone lives in tealand …just saying

    • mistlesuede March 29th, 2016 at 15:24

      Maybe you should get out of mum’s basement and see the country.
      BTW, we’ve seen your website “reading” list. No wonder you are so ill-informed.
      His approval has been good for a long time and has inched up a little over the past few months.
      Bad news for rwnj’s.

    • William March 29th, 2016 at 15:32

      You of course have some research, study or credible article to back that up….right? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5d598aa4d7927642e768f6c09fdba0ce112b91d793ac3db8e28c3cd86b9d1c77.jpg

      Lol. You and your little friends in the Tea Cult hardly represent mainstream America. The reality is that Obama has a 53% approval rating, while your hero Trump has an approval rating below that of chronic dyspepsia. Face the facts: America just isn’t that into you.

    the Fox polls tell a different story , but their polls are taken in Walmart parking lots in small town Texas
