President Obama Averaged A 47.9% Job Approval As President


Gallop: Obama Averages 47.9% Job Approval as President

* Only Truman, Ford, Carter had lower averages as president
* Final job approval rating of 59% among the highest for presidents
* Obama ratings avoided extreme highs, lows

WASHINGTON, D.C -- Barack Obama finished his tenure as president with a 47.9% average job approval rating. He ranks below eight presidents and ahead of only three -- Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Harry Truman -- in Gallup's polling history.

John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower and George H.W. Bush, all of whom averaged better than 60% job approval while in office, have the highest averages. Three others -- Bill Clinton, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan -- have averages above the majority level. Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush, falls just below the majority level at 49.4%.

WNU Editor: So President Nixon's and President George W. Bush average job approval rating was higher than President Obama's .... here is an easy prediction .... this is something that the mainstream media is not going to report on. As to what is my take .... since last year I have become very sceptical of polls .... and my opinion has not changed.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will leave the White House Friday with the third-highest approval ratings of any U.S. chief executive in 40 years.

Only Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan left office with higher ratings than Obama, according to the ABC News/Washington Post poll.
