Gallup: Obama Gets Bump, Won't Last
Posted by Kyle Trygstad | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
Despite the bewilderment from conservatives and liberals alike, Gallup reports that Pres. Obama's job approval rating has actually increased slightly since winning the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. It had been 53% in the three days leading up to the announcement, but after interviews Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Obama's approval is up to 56% -- his highest mark since early August.

However, Gallup's Jeffrey Jones explains why this brief respite from dwindling numbers won't last, especially with discussion this week getting back to health care reform and Afghanistan.

"In fact, odds are the bump will not last, since the improvement in his rating from his term-low 50% early last week has come exclusively among independents and Republicans, who are less likely to stay loyal to the president," Jones writes.

Obama currently has a 53.0% RCP Average Job Approval rating.
