U.S. President Barack Obama averaged a 61% job approval rating for the month of June, down from his 65% average in May, and one point below his previous monthly low of 62%, recorded in March.
Four in 10 U.S. voters say they would be very (19%) or somewhat likely (24%) to vote for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for president in 2012. After her resignation last week, 70% say their views of Palin have not changed and 53% describe media coverage of her as “unfairly negative.”
Barack Obama’s recent job approval ratings have hovered around 60%. Since they remain above the historical average of 55% approval, he is arguably still in the honeymoon phase of his presidency. Recent presidents have averaged just seven months above this benchmark, much less than those from 1945-1974.
Beginning in 2018, Gallup will start updating presidential job approval on a weekly basis, rather than on a daily basis.
