Obama's Approval Rating now on par with Clinton & Reagan

[courseofhistory]

at about the same point in their first terms.

President Obama’s current Gallup weekly approval rating is 52%. At the same point in their first terms, Bill Clinton’s approval rating was 58%, and Ronald Reagan’s was 54%. At roughly the same date in his presidency, Jimmy Carter’s approval rating was 37%. (After losing the 1980 election to Ronald Reagan, Carter would sink to 31%.) George H.W. Bush’s approval rating was 34% in mid-October 1992.

1. More than half the nation approve

Or 50% based on a poll of polls, but we are supposed to believe acording to some polls that some of those are going to give the presidency to Mitt Romney.

2. Good, but what is the underlying reason?

Why is Obama seeing good approval ratings despite the debate fallout and bad national poll numbers?

Do they point towards a resurgence? We're seeing some of that in the swing state polls tonight.
