The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[MR. NAPHTHALI BENNETT]

More of the same another 4 years, doh!

Well, yeah. 'Help keep America from becoming unimaginably worse and never getting better again: Vote Obama 2012' isn't the world's catchiest slogan, but it's one of the most honest ones possible for his campaign.

Also, Dems lead the generic congressional ballot in Rasmussen for the first time in two and a half years.

[Tender Branson]

Gallup is off.

Being at 51-47 with Rasmussen means Obama's at 55-45 in other polls ...

[Lief 🐋]

Rasmussen is 51-48 today, Obama is still above 50%.

And PPP is 47-49, with favorability of 48-47.

Oregon (DHM Research):

55% Approve (up from 46% in their poll from last year)

Even Scottie has given up on the Republicans.

He's punishing them for voting for the RINO.

Am I imagining it or has Obama's strongly approve been steadily improving in Rasmussen?

You are imaging it. 

They bumped up clearly after the first of the year and have been in a 21-26 point range since then.  Off their lows, but not dramatically rising.

[Lief 🐋]

Last year they were regularly in the high 10s to very low 20s. Now they're in the mid 20s.

Last year they were regularly in the high 10s to very low 20s. Now they're in the mid 20s.

No, a year ago, they were slightly higher.  They were running sightly higher than now in early July.  There was only one point where Obama's numbers were below 20 for more than three days, and his low was 18.  That was in October, and he was getting numbers in the mid-20's in November.

Like I said, Obama is off his lows in "Strongly Approve."  He is still well of his 2011 high of January; that was 31%.

[Eraserhead]

He'll probably get a slight boost from the employment data.

[Ben Romney]

The WMUR Granite State Poll shows that 38 percent of New Hampshire adults think the country is headed in the right direction, while 50 percent say it's on the wrong track.Obama has seen his job approval rating nearly flip from the last Granite State Poll in October, with 51 percent now saying they like the job the president is doing, compared to 43 percent who don't. Just 41 percent said they approved in October.Obama's improved fortunes are also reflected in head-to-head matchups against the Republican field in New Hampshire. In hypothetical matchups, Obama leads Mitt Romney by 10 points, Ron Paul by eight points, and trounces Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum by 25 and 21 points respectively.
