Rasmussen: Obama job approval jumps to 4-month high. 52%

Friday, October 25, 2013

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Obama's job performance. Forty-seven percent (47%) disapprove (see trends).

The latest figures include 29% of all likely voters who Strongly Approve of the way Obama is performing as president and 38% who Strongly Disapprove. This gives him a Presidential Approval Index rating of -9.

Results are updated daily at 9:30 a.m. Eastern (sign up for free daily e-mail update).

Fifty-one percent (51%) of voters think the Obama administration should delay the individual mandate because of the problems experienced by the government exchange websites set up to provide health insurance. Forty-two percent (42%) agree the government should require every American to buy or obtain health insurance, but 49% oppose that mandate.

Fifty-two percent (52%) worry the government won’t do enough in reacting to the country's current economic problems, and 62% think the best thing government can do is cut spending.

And people think he should do things differently on certain issues.

In this kind of political climate, 52% is perfect.
