Obama's Second Term Polls5/27/09 Tags: 2012 Election From Public Policy Polling (conducted: 5/14-18/09)
» Commentary by Kris Lazaro (registered Democrat) Barack Obama's approval rating in Public Policy Polling's national survey this month is at 55%, a showing pretty consistent with the 53% he had in April and the 55% he received in March. The themes in public perception of him continue to be pretty clear: Democrats pretty universally like him, Republicans pretty universally dislike him, and his standing with independents pretty much splits the difference. 84% of Democrats but only 19% of Republicans approve of the job he's doing, with the independents going 55/38, nearly identical to his overall national numbers of 55/36. Looking toward 2012, none of the most mentioned potential Republican contenders are finding a lot of momentum. In hypothetical contests Obama leads Mike Huckabee 52-39, Newt Gingrich 53-36, Mitt Romney 53-35, and Sarah Palin 56-37. In addition to coming closest to Obama in the horse race, Huckabee also has the best favorability rating among the quartet of potential GOP hopefuls. 44% have a positive opinion of him, followed by 42% for Sarah Palin, 40% for Mitt Romney, and 30% for Newt Gingrich. �Barack Obama's approval rating continues to exceed the level of support he received at the polls in November, a good sign for him given the poor economy,� said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. �As for the Republicans, they've all spent a fair amount of time in the national spotlight but none of them seem to have really caught on with the public.� Check Gmail, Facebook, and IM simultaneously with Digsby.
