Again, another article I found interesting. I don't generally keep my head in the political game especially with a presidential rating system but I just found it interesting that Obama is going up in popularity. I kinda feel good for the guy, but is it due to the economy?
"Improving views of the economy have helped hike President Barack Obama's approval rating to a 20-month high, a new CNN/ORC poll showed Tuesday, as markets climbed to record levels at news of an economy in overdrive."
Do people's opinions of the president usually coincide with the swing of the economy? Which brings another question: Is Obama a big reason for the uptick in the market?
Regardless, his approval rating is still a freaking 48%, which is still an 'F' to say the least. But hey, he's climbing. The groups that they found the uptick in were women, Millennial's and independents, while in men, Republicans and Americans between 35 and 49 years old it started to go down a touch. Think this is just one of those weird things where there is no rhyme or reason to it? It just is?
Comment below, let me know!
Maybe it's because of low gas prices! Haha (see Shauntae's blog post). He has managed to keep up his rating though (since Dec. 31st when I posted about this).
ReplyDeleteWhen things are good, everybody loves the leader! When things are bad, not so much. I think the economic happiness definitely contributed to his approval ratings.
