It is always important to state were W was that this point.

George W. Bush's approval rating at this point in his presidency was 28%

Obama is +25 compared to Bush!!!

Approval ratings for President Obama have been amazingly stable. He may have had his highs, but they were not that high. Lows -- not that low.

For good reason he has been called "No Drama Obama". One does not watch his Presidency for thrills.

PPP, West Virginia. President Obama gets only 28% approval there.

WV is a cesspool.

PPP just showed national approval for President Obama at 49%.

Good position for winning re-election except for the 22nd Amendment.

I wrote a little essay -- What is wrong with West Virginia?

The state came to rely heavily upon one industry (coal) and was ill-prepared for its demise. All extractive industries eventually go belly-up. The state failed to invest in schools and roads. This was when the Democrats ran the state and utterly dominated statewide politics.

When things fell apart, they really fell apart, and the Republicans got to take over quickly.

Michigan had much the same problem with the auto industry, and the state really is a cesspool in politics and economics. Unlike West Virginia, Michigan has a fairly-strong agricultural sector and tourist trade. Also, unlike West Virginia, the state used to be slightly R when the auto business started to decline.

Gallup:
53% Approve
44% Disapprove

Gallup seems to be consistently above the average. Meanwhile, why are The Economist/YouGov polls always way below average? They must skew right-wing like most financial publications.

Good luck with Trump ever getting approval numbers this high, whether he becomes president or not. If he does become president, I predict record low approval ratings.

Sure, Obama has done some things I haven't liked, but America under him has been better than his immediate predecessor.

Where did you find that? I've been tracking Gallup's presidential approval ratings page and Obama has not yet reached 54% on there this year.

-

In other news: June 6th - 12th survey has Obama at 53%

The Orlando attack happened on the last day of this, so we won't know the impact until Gallup finishes its next weekly survey. I don't think there will be a rally-around effect, so his approval ratings will probably take a temporary dive to mid-high 40s if I had to guess. We'll have to see how the public's perception of his handling of this tragedy plays out.

However, if Obama rebounds and this positive trend continues, then it might be possible that Obama hits 55% or more at least once before the election.

No, Obama reached 54% approval in Gallup on June 11th. I've been following their daily approval tracking poll since summer 2011 #nerdalert.

Obama's average approval on RCP is now above 50% for the first time since early March of 2013.
