Gallup Poll: Obama Job Approval Hits 50% For First Time Since May | TPMDC

I predict this will only go up as the GOP side show begins to play out in the House…

It’s a far cry from the near 70% approval rating Obama enjoyed at the start of his presidency, but for the first time since last May, half of the country approves of of how he’s doing as president, according to Gallup.

In the latest Gallup poll, 50% of respondents said they approved of Obama’s job performance, versus 43% who said they disapproved. In results released yesterday, that split was a tad better for Obama, 50%-42%. Those findings mark the first time Obama’s approval has reached the symbolic 50% mark in Gallup’s poll since the end of May 2010.
