52% - Presidential Approval

Wed Nov 4, 12:00 AM ET

After falling from post-inaugural highs this summer, Barack Obama’s approval rating as president has remained steady over the past few months, with a little more than half consistently approving of his performance. Currently, 52% of Americans approve of the president, while 36% disapprove. The president continues to receive strong support from his own party (80% of Democrats approve of his performance), while few Republicans support the president (just 20% approve). Political independents roughly mirror the country, with half (49%) approving of Obama’s job as president. Obama has the country’s confidence on the economy (59% are confident he will do the right thing) and the threat of terrorism (58% confident).
