A History Of President Obama's Approval Ratings

Loop 21 looks at the ?Rise and Fall? of Obama?s job approval ratings

Going into a new year with a bid for reelection, President Barack Obama?s job approval rating is pretty low, according to Gallup.

From Nov. 21-27 2011, groups party/ideology groups were surveyed and Obama lost 10 percent of ?pure independents? and eight percent of moderate/liberal Republicans since January 2011. If the Obama campaign needed a strategy to push him to a 50% threshold of job approval rating, they could consider targeting those groups. Gaining more support from ?Moderate Democrats? could also be beneficial for the Obama campaign. In January of this year, Moderate Democrats gave Obama an 81 percent job approval rating, which slumped by six points to 75 percent, when asked again in November.
