Obama approval rating stays high despite bruising week Gabriela Resto-Montero, @GabrielaRM 10:41 AM on 05/19/2013 Barack Obama hosts a reception in honor of national Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month in the East Room of the White House June 15, 2012 in Washington, DC.

Fallout from the controversies prompted the Obama administration to appoint a new IRS chief, push for shield laws protecting journalists, and investigate the Benghazi security breach. A Gallup Poll conducted late last week found that Americans’ interest in the scandals was below average, with Republicans showing more interest than Democrats in both the IRS and Benghazi investigations. tv.msnbc.com

Said pollster Keating Holland: "An approval rating that has not dropped and remains over 50% will probably be taken as good news by Democrats after the events of the last week."
