Obama Approval Rating Skyrockets To 56% As GOP Faces Trump Led Collapse [View all]

politicususa



As the Republican Party nears a state of Trump led collapse, President Obama’s approval rating has reached its highest level since 2011.

The Washington Post reported on President Obama’s new approval rating high via the ABC News/Washington Post Poll:

The poll, conducted in the immediate aftermath of a massacre in Orlando that was perpetrated by a man who pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, showed Obama’s approval rating at 56 percent — its highest level in Post polling since May 2011, after the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Obama is more popular now than Republicans George W. Bush and George H.W. Bush in the waning months of their presidencies. Although Obama’s approval rating has not reached the level of former Democratic president Bill Clinton’s in 2000, his standing suggests that he could be a relatively effective surrogate for Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail.

After the Orlando terror attacks, President Obama’s approval ratings went up while Donald Trump’s poll numbers dropped. The voters are paying attention, and they are appreciating the job that Obama is doing for the country more by the day.
