Zogby Analytics conducted an online poll of 1,004 voters nationwide
President Obama's approval numbers are up from our last nationwide poll in August; since then Obama has increased his numbers from 48% approval (strongly and somewhat approve combined) to a slim majority of voters (51%) who approve of his job as president. Currently his disapproval rating (somewhat and strongly disapprove combined) is 47%, which is down from 50% in August. Of those who approve, 27% strongly approve while 24% somewhat approve of his job as president. Women (52%) approve of President Obama more than men (50%). His approval to disapproval ratio is better with younger voters (18-29 year olds--57% approval/40% disapproval) when compared to older voters 50-64 years old (45% approval/54% disapproval) and voters aged 65+ (39% approval/61% disapproval).
