Can a rising Obama help Hillary Clinton? - CNNPolitics.com
Obama's approval rating dipped to 50% after the Republican convention, but has risen to 54% in the wake of his party's convention, with 45% disapproval, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll. That's the most positive approval rating of his second term.
The increase in Obama's approval rating comes mostly among younger Americans -- he's up 9 points among those under age 45 while losing a point among those age 45 or older -- and political independents and moderates -- up 9 points among each group.
.
Compared with other recent two-term presidents, Obama's approval rating at this stage of his presidency ranks on par with Ronald Reagan's ratings in 1988, and are approaching Bill Clinton's 57% at this point in 2000.
I think the more Trump opens his mouth the more thankful people are with who we have now. The more Obama speaks out about Trump the worse Trump looks because Obama is right, he's not fit and Trump keeps proving it everyday.
Obama has taken off the gloves and Trump is paying the price in the polls
Oh, I agree. I think Obama, a sitting President provides a sober view of what it means to have Trump in the White House. I believe when people compare these two together, it helps Obama's approval rating.
