A slim majority of the public approves of President Barack Obama’s job performance, according to a new poll that shows his approval rating at a 30-month high.
According to a new Washington Post–ABC News poll, 51% of the public approves of the Obama Administration while 45% disapprove, the best numbers for the President the poll has registered since May 2013.
The past few months have seen several success for the Obama Administration, including achieving a nuclear deal with Iran and the Supreme Court’s affirmation of the Affordable Care Act. The country has also seen a continuing decline in unemployment and low gas prices.
The latest poll, however, may be an outlier: other recent polls show him with even or underwater approval ratings, and the Real Clear Politics polling average for the month of October shows him with a 45.3-to-50.3 approval-disapproval rating.
