Obama Approval Hit 15-Month High During Party Convention
By Kathleen Hunter - Sep 7, 2012 3:43 PM ET
President Barack Obama’s job approval reached a 15-month high during the Democratic National Convention this week, according to a Gallup Poll.
The poll, conducted Sept. 4-6 and released today, found that 52 percent of Americans approve of the president’s job performance, up 3 percentage points from the previous survey, conducted Sept. 3-5. In the latest poll, 43 percent disapproved of the job Obama is doing, down from 45 percent.
Obama’s job approval hadn’t topped 50 percent in the Gallup survey since a poll conducted June 21-23. The latest approval numbers are the president’s highest since a survey conducted May 29-June 1, 2011, in which Obama registered a 53 percent approval rating.
The bump in Obama’s rating coincides with his party’s nominating convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, this week. Obama accepted the Democratic presidential nomination in a speech last night before heading to a campaign event today in New Hampshire where he discussed an unexpected slowdown in August job growth that could temper his momentum from the convention.
The poll released today has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points and is based on telephone interviews with about 1,500 adults.
Republican nominee Mitt
Romney got no “bounce” in his poll standings from the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, Aug. 28-30, Gallup reported Sept. 4.
Since 1964, Gallup has measured such a post-convention improvement in polls for every major-party candidate except Democrats George McGovern in 1972 and John Kerry in 2004.
