61% - Presidential Approval
Mon Jul 6, 1:00 am ET

Roughly half-way through his first year in office, President Barack Obama continues to hold high marks from the American people; 61% approve of the job he is doing as president. Three-in-ten disapprove of his job performance. While Obama’s approval on the economy has declined from 60% in April to 52% currently, Americans are still optimistic about his administration. Fully 65% say Obama’s policies will improve the economy and 55% are optimistic his policies will reduce the budget deficit over the long-term. But in contrast to much of the campaign, Obama receives higher marks on foreign policy than economic; 57% approve of his handling of international affairs. While 45% of registered voters said Obama would not be tough enough on foreign policy last September, 38% now hold that view while about half of Americans (51%) now say he has the right approach. Only 21% say the U.S. is less safe under Obama than under Bush, while 28% believe his administration has made the nation safer.
