Obama Approval Rating Reaches 3-Year High In Bloomberg Poll

As President Obama faces a tough showdown with congressional Republicans over the looming sequestration cuts, a new poll shows the commander-in-chief with his highest approval rating in over three years.

A Bloomberg National poll released Wednesday found that 55 percent of Americans approve of Obama's performance, his highest rating in the poll since September 2009. The poll also found that 49 percent of respondents believe that the president's proposals to increase government spending in key areas are more likely to spur job creation than GOP-backed efforts to cut both spending and taxes.

Additionally, the Bloomberg poll found Republican popularity at a record low. Just 35 percent of respondents said they have a favorable view of the GOP, marking the lowest ratings for the party since the poll began three years ago. The Republican rating also marked a six point drop over the last six months.

The poll surveyed 1,003 adults between February 15 and February 18, with a three percent margin of error.

Obama's popularity has been on an upward trend in the months since his reelection. A Washington Post/ABC News poll conducted last month found that 60 percent of respondents had a favorable view of the president. In December, a CBS poll showed Obama's strongest numbers since the death of Osama Bin Laden in May 2011.

However, the Bloomberg poll wasn't all good news for the president. 55 percent of respondents said they disapprove of how Obama has handled the federal budget deficit, and 49 percent have an unfavorable view with how he has handled the economy.

HuffPost Pollster's chart, which tracks all publicly available polls, currently finds Obama approval rating at 52.7 percent.

Not surpirising. The majority of people will fall for him based off of his ability to speak and the obvious bigotry displayed by the GOP. Meanwhile he passes CISPA, authorizes drones in the U.S. sky, and continues his war on medical Marijuana. The only jobs created here are in service.

But hes black, good looking, and can speak well. The man can do no wrong :lebron:

I dont know what you meant by that gif or whatever but dont get me wrong Obama's overseeing of the economy( the extent to which he deserves credit is another issue) has been impressive. But 121 percent of gains in the economic recovery went to the top 1 percent. But who cares about justice if we can buy a new car and get drunk every weekend?

again this is what we voted for. We will continue to applaud every mediocre accomplishment as a triumph of epic proportion. When you accept mediocrity it becomes more and more common place.

The Golden years are gone for the foreseeable future.

Every year of my life that goes by without the Republican Party in power I chalk as a win.

And look how that's worked out...

Off the top of my head...

I'm not doing as well as I was before the stock market crash.
My quality of life is mostly the same, it hasn't increased.
(Which is in no way a complaint.)
Tax policy is looking more favorable for me.
Universal Health Care may become a reality someday.
My state finally feels socially liberal.
Interest rates are low.

It could be a lot worse

I'm not going to blame the guy because it rained

You surmised this from a poll that shows that 49% of American are unhappy with the handling of the economy. His approval rating being up doesn't = it's all rainbows and we've accepted the status quo. The polling actually shows the exact opposite. I'm also unaware of what golden years you're talking about. People of color have been in a recession for about 3 decades.
