Poll: Obama’s approval rating hits an 18-month high, is back over 50 percent

President Barack Obama held a Town Hall at McKinley High School in Baton Rouge today

MOre pics.. I just chose that one.. http://theobamadiary.com/2016/01/14/the-presidents-day-81/

A bare 51 percent majority of the public approves of President Obama's job performance in a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, while 45 percent disapproves. Although tepidly positive, those are Obama's best numbers since May 2013 in Post-ABC surveys.

The movement in his ratings — which we would emphasize has not yet been verified in other public polls — has been slight on a month-to-month basis. But his ratings have moved in a positive direction in two consecutive Post-ABC surveys. In May and July, Obama's ratings were more negative than positive, with 45 percent to 46 percent approving and 50 percent disapproving of his performance. That tipped the other way in September, to 49 percent approval and 46 percent disapproval. And that slight shift has continued in the latest survey.

This is Amazing considering all the cyberwaves and airwaves pushing ODS from the rabid rw and the other end of the spectrum biting at his heels.

Mahalo mcar~

[Tarheel_Dem]

12. Cha, you never fail to cheer me up!

[Cha]

16. Awesome, Tarheel!

I'm so happy!

Thank you!

[livetohike]

13. Very nice numbers! Thanks for posting this Cha.

[Cha]

17. It feels so good to be part of such Diversity, livetohike, even though I'm just

a Scottish lass!

Mahalo~

[shenmue]

18. Yes!

[Cha]

21. Mahalo, shenmue!

[scottie55]

19. People That Think We Are Being Raped By Wall Street

Are more likely to support Sanders.

Go figure.

[Cha]

20. You lose. Go figure.

[Coolest Ranger]

51. Can you take your negativity out of this group

I want to enjoy something positive for a change. This is the Hillary Clinton group, a safe haven

[SylviaD]

23. I rarely post, but...

Hillary Clinton will be the nominee.

Hillary Clinton will be an excellent nominee.

Hillary Clinton will be elected president.

Hillary Clinton will make history.

A million denials and arguments by Sanders supporters and Rethuglicans will evaporate like morning dew.

This is happening.

[Kath1]

34. I love the way you put that, SylviaD!

And you couldn't be more right about it!

[Cha]

65. Well, Mahalo for coming on to post that, SylviaD.. it's beautifully laid out~

[Dawson Leery]

24. Hillary is the one.

Let us get her a first victory in Iowa.

[baldguy]

25. Sanders first big outreach campaign wasn't to women, or blacks, or Hispanics.

It was to Trump supporters!

[hrmjustin]

27. That is a great point.

One reason I find myself trusting Sanders less and less.

[Pauldg47]

28. But that is not true.

[hrmjustin]

30. Yes it is.and this is the HRC room.

[Cha]

45. Mahalo, Justin!

[Cha]

37. It wasn't to women, or blacks, or Hispanics.. and what's left? That's right.

[Coolest Ranger]

52. Deny it all you want

but it is true and the more you all attack us the more you are running people away from your camp. Sanders will not be the nominee

[BlueCaliDem]

29. Great post, Cha! Very uplifting and positive. We women will be a force to be reckoned with

these coming elections.

And I believe President Obama's approval numbers are higher, but they keep oversampling Republicans, and they keep bringing those numbers down since NO Republican likes President Obama. I would like to think it's because of his policies, but with the rise of tRump's numbers in the polls, it's difficult to continue believing that.

That said - over 50% is wonderful!

An enthusiastic and rec'd!

[Cha]

38. Mahalo BlueCali!.. I like the charts showing the Diversity of Hillary's support juxtaposed

with the popularity of our most Diverse President. The beautiful makeup of our Country



And, that Women are going to be a forced to be reckoned with!

[Gothmog]

31. Interesting demographics

In Texas, Clinton had a ton of support from Latino voters in 2008. I believe that this support is still there

[Cha]

40. I'm so happy Hillary has so much Latino support in Texas and across our Nation..

Mahalo Gothmog~

[Gothmog]

75. Super Tuesday will be a fun day

[MADem]

32. This is pretty obvious, from everything I've seen.

Not surprising, either...!

[Cha]

41. Yes, It's Hiilary who has the Diverse Supporters and Women! It's been building up to that for a

long time and still going Strong.

The Obama Coalition and Hillary's Coalition!

Mahalo MADem!

[Kath1]

33. Excellent, Cha!

Looks like the right mix for success!

[Cha]

42. Yes, an Excellent recipe for Sweet Sweet

Victory, Kath!

[still_one]

35. No surprise from me on this. Thanks Cha

[Cha]

43. No, just verification of Hillary Supporters whose support has been building up for long time,

still_one, and only getting stronger!

[workinclasszero]

36. Yay for us!

[Cha]

48. Indeed, workingclasshero! We are fortunate to be in the Diversity crowd if not

actually as diverse ourselves.. as in my case. But, I fall into the Women category whose support is in the majority for Hillary .. so that's fun!

Thank you!

[oasis]

39. Great work Cha, thanks for contributing another refreshing OP.

[Cha]

49. Mahalo oasis.. it's such a pleasure doing it for Hillary and President Obama!

[Ellen Forradalom]

46. No surprise. The Democratic Party itself is more diverse

Because it's gone through the long-term effort of courting constituencies and electing candidates.

I had an eye-opening experience in 2000. I attended the Nader Superrally in Chicago, where I saw an audience as lily-white as at a Blackhawks hockey game or an R.E.M. concert. Later I attended a Democratic Women's rally where women elected officials, white, Hispanic, and Black spoke to an audience equally diverse. That made a huge impression on me. Building a living, breathing political coalition is hard work and I respect those, like the Clintons, who have shown up and done the legwork.

[Cha]

56. Exactly, Ellen.. no surprise.. just more confirmation that all the years of investing and building

a diverse coalition is gathering more and more momentum. .. and so is President Obama's. I know he's going to be out there campaigning hard for her when the time comes.

[Amimnoch]

47. Well, it does make sense. You have Hillary who's led in diversity

and one who, since the 70's only has experience in the second smallest state (population wise), and the 2nd most homogenous state in the country.

Really? They tout Sanders as being a leader in civil rights, when for the last 36 years he's lived exclusively in, and his only experience come from being a legislator for a state that has a 95% white population (only 1.2% black/African American).

Yes, I know, he did walk with MLK in the 60's. Extremely admirable, and it is definitely a great thing that he was a leader back then. However, since the late 70's he left behind the place he'd come from.. the place that DID have real cultural and racial diversity for Vermont. He has legislated for decades from a virtually all white tower of isolation. While there is nothing morally or socially wrong with that (Living in Vermont, and being a legislator from Vermont is perfectly respectable), qualified presidential material, and a "leader in civil rights" it does not make.

[Cha]

59. Yes, it's really nice to see the numbers add up in relation to the many years that Hillary has

been out and about, all over our Country. Building precious coalitions of diversity for decades and standing up for women everywhere.. even in China!


Hillary has it in her heart and soul.. and just like the diversity of her supporters.. It shows in the issues that she holds dear. she has a whole treasure trove of brilliant in depth plans that she and her team have created to keep America moving forward in a positive direction.

We just have to get her elected!

Mahalo, Amimnoch~

[Coolest Ranger]

50. Not only that

but they are the friendliest, they encourage you when you are down. They don't question if you are a true democrat and they are my friends.

[Cha]

60. That's really sweet, Coolest.. I feel the same.. backatcha!

mi amigo

[BlueMTexpat]

54. Lovely OP, lovely thread,

adorable photo of the high-fivers! You literally hit the trifecta, Cha!

Great news also about Prez O's approval rating!

We are Hillary's base, we have her back, and we are not going away.

[Cha]

61. Mahalo BlueMTexpat! It's such a pleasure to do with Hillary and President Obama

in the starring roles, and that little precious high fiver! lol Look at the proud look on his daddy's face.

It's such a blessing that all the President's efforts are showing in his poll numbers.. and in spite of the US media goPropaganda machine.. he is popular with our Dems.

Yes, Hillary's coalition looks like Obama's coalition in diversity.. and between the two joining forces we will kick elephant all over the place.. oh, yes they will be trying everything in their power to cheat, lie, and steal.

But, Love, Truth, and Brilliance will Win Out.. :

[lunamagica]

55. K&R. Yes we are! We come in all colors and flavors!

[Cha]

62. Yes we are! Random pic off the internet..

Mahalo~lunamagica

[riversedge]

57. Thanks for the work you put into this Char. Aslo love th content.

[Cha]

66. Ohh, you're so Very Welcome, rivers!

Thank you!

[treestar]

58. Does anyone remember

when it was Obama vs. Hillary, what the white vote was? Looking at that above - I'm just amazed that Bernie has a slight edge with white people. So I am curious if Obama had that edge or whether it was Hillary last time.

[Cha]

69. I dunno, treestar and my googling isn't helping. Maybe someone will get on

here who does know these things. Not my wheelhouse.

Mahalo!

[treestar]

72. Yes, thanks, that sort of poll is 8 years old now!

Might be tougher to find but I know a lot of DUers were way more into that stuff and might recall!

[NastyRiffraff]

63. Happy to K&R

Wonderful info!

[Cha]

70. Thank you, Riffraff~ My pleasure.. such interesting

subject matter!

[Lisa D]

64. K&R!

[Cha]

71. Mahalo LisaD~

[Hortensis]

68. A major reason Hillary should be America's president.

[Silent_Greene]

74. *

*And that is something Bernie Sanders cannot say. The last thing we need in November is the black and Hispanic communities staying home in droves!

[Cha]

76. They won't be.. Hillary and President Obama will make sure of that!
