Obama approval hits new high

President Barack Obama's approval rating stands at 55% in a new CNN/ORC poll, the highest mark of his second term, and matching his best at any time since his first year in office.

The new rating outpaces his previous second-term high -- reached just after a Democratic convention that extolled the successes of his presidency -- by one point, and hits a level he's reached just twice since the end of his first year in office: In January 2013 just before his second inauguration and in January 2011.

The new poll continues a streak in which Obama's approval rating has been at 50% or higher in CNN/ORC polls since February, a seven month run that is his longest since 2009. And taken together, Obama's approval ratings in 2016 average 51% so far in CNN/ORC polls, his best mark since that first year in office.

He's up 12 points among Democrats to 89% approval and 14 among independents to 56% approval, but his numbers have barely budged among Republicans, 11% approved in September 2015 and 13% approve now.

There are partisan differences, however. He's up 12 points among Democrats to 89% approval and 14 among independents to 56% approval, but his numbers have barely budged among Republicans, 11% approved in September 2015 and 13% approve now.

And there's a racial gap as well, with improvement coming among whites and Hispanics, but ratings of Obama holding steady among blacks. Among whites, his approval rating remains in negative territory but has climbed from 32% a year ago to 47% now. Non-whites have held mostly steady -- 68% approved then and 70% do now.

Among black voters, 86% approve in the new poll, combining last year's data for both September and October, the number was identical among blacks a year ago. Among Hispanics, Obama's approval rating stands at 68%, up from 60% in the combined data from last fall.

And in a further measure of the education rift among whites that's been highlighted by this year's presidential race, 55% of whites with college degrees say they approve of Obama's work as president vs. just 44% of whites who do not have degrees.

Obama's approval rating is well above President George W. Bush's numbers at this point in his term in office, and about on par with Ronald Reagan's numbers at this time in 1988.

He is just a hair behind Bill Clinton's 58% measure in October 2000. Both Clinton and Reagan saw their numbers rise above 60% after their successor had been elected and the transition had begun.

[Update]

Obama approval hits 60% as end of term approaches


President Barack Obama will leave office Friday with his highest approval rating since 2009, his presidency largely viewed as a success, and a majority saying they will miss him when he is gone.

A new CNN/ORC poll finds Obama's approval rating stands at 60%, his best mark since June of his first year in office. Compared with other outgoing presidents, Obama lands near the top of the list, outranked only by Bill Clinton's 66% in January 2001 and Ronald Reagan's 64% in January 1989. About two-thirds (65%) say Obama's presidency was a success, including about half (49%) who say that was due to Obama's personal strengths rather than circumstances outside his control.

That assessment of Obama's presidency, as well as his approval ratings, are marked by sharp partisan divides. While 54% of Democrats consider Obama one of the greatest presidents, 54% of Republicans call him a poor president. Though he has earned near universal approval among Democrats (95% approve), just 18% of Republicans say they approve of how he handled the presidency. That gap explains the difference between Obama's approval rating and those of the two former presidents who left office with higher marks.

polls have to be taken with a grain of salt...

Gallup conducts 1,000 interviews per day, 350 days out of the year, among both landline and cell phones across the U.S. for its health and well-being survey and political and economic survey. Gallup Daily tracking methodology relies on live interviewers, dual-frame random-digit-dial sampling (which includes landline as well as cellular telephone phone sampling to reach those in cell phone-only households), and uses a multi-call design to reach respondents not contacted on the initial attempt.

Gallup completes 500 cellphone surveys and 500 landline surveys daily, divided evenly between the two topical questionnaires. The population of the U.S. that relies only on cell phones makes 34% of the population.

Not only does not everyone use the phone, or have constant access to their cell phones/all day, but those that actually fill out the surveys usually are the ppl that are emotionally invested in the product(in this case the Obama or Trump). This is similar to Amazon reviews...if you want to simplify it. Most ppl don't write reviews, only the ones that really love it or really hate it. That doesn't take in to account the large majority of ppl that don't bother taking these polls or reviews... which usually leads to some kinda of bias.

Yep...same exact polls that said:
  1. That Obama was going to beat McCain
  2. That Obama was going to beat Romney
  3. And that Hillary would beat Trump in the popular vote
Pretty damn accurate for the most part.

In 2012, Gallup's final election survey had Mitt Romney at 49% and Barack Obama at 48%, compared to the final election results showing Obama with 51.1% to Romney's 47.2%.

Poll shows McCain in 5-point lead over Obama
McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent

I think this just shows how much polls change day to day. It also depends on when the poll was conducted.

If they do the polls the day after Obama/Hillary/Trump comes out saying something popular he will immediately get a higher rating.
If they do the polls the day after either say something harmful the polls won't look as good.

if anything this just shows have reactive and over reactionary most ppl are. the fact that there were ppl swaying the DAY BEFORE the election just shows how simple the public really is.

Polling just takes advantage of this fact, so its easy to create these surveys and polls to fit your own narrative.



at the end of every poll there should be a disclaimer saying
*for entertainment purposes only

I wonder if these Polls were done in Hollywood

The smear job and the elevation of Obama the Saint by the media over the last year has been sickening to watch.
Trump will never reach these levels..He will be the most hated President of all time..

If he even makes through his 1st term :mjpls:

:yeshrug:

if he doesn't he doesn't, don't matter to me. I don't care about the personalities in the white house. I just care about the end game for us.


I'm at the point now where I am hoping he does the best job ever and he gets a second term. what ACTUALLY happens though....only time will tell. and I hope the people hold him accountable (for better and for worse) the whole time.



anyone hoping for his failure though....it's just a pathetic loser

Averaging all the Polling data and including +/- swing gives you a rough idea of where the numbers stand. Include it in this poll you'll see Gallup was right along the lines within margin of error


Poll shows McCain in 5-point lead over Obama
McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent

This was a "post convention bounce" which every candidate gets. After Trumps convention he had a 4-5 point lead on Clinton and vice versa after Clinton's convention. Either you were being disingenuous or not fully aware of the election after the Wall Street collapse Obama was averaging 7 points on McCain leading up to Election Day.

Lastly it's easier to measure approval ratings and opinions from adults about a president over measuring likely voters and registered voters in an election.

The man is unstable and totally unfit to be President. You hope for the best but this idiot inspires no confidence whatsoever that he will be able to do a good job..

He's a fukkin a$$hole in every way
