The Official Obama Approval Ratings Thread

[memphis]

Because Gallup uses a rolling sample, the convention boom hasn't even fully kicked in yet. This could be huge.

That is why I'm saying to wait for a few days.

[J. J.]

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 49%, +2.

Disapprove 50%, -2.

"Strongly Approve" is at 30%, +3.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at  44%, u.


This looks like the bump.  The strongly approve number is the highest it has been since 1/31/11.

Approve: 52% u

Disapprove: 43% -1


Could someone get both of these on Monday and Tuesday?

[BlueSwan]

Decent bump so far. Imagine if the jobs report had been the initially reported 200k+ figure?

[J. J.]

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 52%, +2.

Disapprove 47%, -3.

"Strongly Approve" is at 32%, +2.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at  42%, -1.

Definite bounce, and it might be higher tomorrow.

(And could somebody else get Monday and Tuesday's numbers.)

Something is seriously wrong with the American public when a pep rally gives a bigger boost than capturing Osama bin Laden. That said, I'll take it.

On the other hand. Not that I think voters are that bright, but in reality, what Clinton explained to the voters is more important for their everyday lives than capturing Osama Bin Laden.

[CultureKing]

Awww.. I guess that's why they call it a bounce.

[J. J.]

This is a three day average, and they still have one pre-speech sample.  Keep you power dry folks.  We won't know until Tuesday (and I won't be available) or Wednesday on this one.

[J. J.]

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 52%, u.

Disapprove 47%, u.

"Strongly Approve" is at 32%, u.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at  41%, -1.

The bounce has probably peaked at 5 points.

Could someone else get the numbers until Wednesday?

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Disapprove 47%, u.

"Strongly Approve" is at 32%, u.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at  41%, -1.

They should have Bill Clinton speak on national TV every week.

They should have Bill Clinton speak on national TV every week.

Yeah, just buy air time for 30 minutes each week in the swing states and let Clinton explain sh**t.

Obamamentum continues.......

[President von Cat]

Undoubtedly it is good news for the president if he is hitting 52% approval with less than two months to go until the election. His disapproval ratings, at around 46%-47%, seems to be roughly consistent with Mitt Romney's ceiling.

Just to compare with previous one termers, this close to their re-election:

President George HW Bush: 39% approve (September 10-14, 1992)
Jimmy Carter: 37% approve (September 11-14, 1980)

I know that we are still seeing Obama's approval bounce following the convention, but he is clearly on a totally different trajectory than the last two presidents who lost re-election.

Obama nearing 50% approval on RCP:

Currently 49.6-47.2

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 51%, -1.

Disapprove 48%, +1.

"Strongly Approve" is at 28%, -2.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at  40%, u.

It's probably the bounce moving out.

Disapprove: 46% (-2)

Presidential poll stays the same: Obama 49% - 46% Romney

[You kip if you want to...]

Wow, this is just... an avalanche. This time 4 years ago, Obama needed an economic catastrophe for numbers this good!

[J. J.]

Rasmussen Obama (National)

Approve 48%, -2.

Disapprove 51%, +2.

"Strongly Approve" is at 28%, u.  "Strongly Disapprove" is at  41%, +1.

Wow, Bain, it is avalanche, in reverse, or it's just the bounce dropping out.

[Sbane]

Does Rasmussen still have a R+4 sample?
