Obama Job Approval
President’s popularity not that bad
Despite what the right-wing radio raconteurs report, President Obama’s approval ratings (45 percent) are not completely in the toilet, except maybe with those raconteurs and their faithful listeners. The following Gallup poll numbers were taken between April 28 and May 4.
By age | By ethnicity | By political party |
---|---|---|
Ages 18 to 29 50% | White 33% | Democrat 80% |
Ages 30 to 49 44% | Nonwhite 69% | Independent 40% |
Ages 50 to 64 43% | Black 84% | Republican 10% |
Ages 65+ 40% | Hispanic 60% |
