Obama’s Approval Rating Up Again in August

When tracking President Obama’s job approval on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture. To look at the longer-term trends, Rasmussen Reports compiles the numbers on a full-month basis, and the results can be seen in the graphics below.

The president earned a monthly job approval of 50% in August, up one point from July and tying the recent high he earned in April, May and June. In 2015, the president’s full-month approval ranged from 46% to 49%. Since 2013, the president's monthly job approval rating has typically improved slightly at the beginning of each year and then fallen back. That hasn’t been the case in the final year of his presidency. Obama's monthly approval hit a recent low of 45% in November 2013 during the troubled rollout of the national health care law.
