    President Barack Obama's approval rating is the highest it has been since May 2013, according to the results of the latest weekly Gallup tracking poll.

    Overall, 50 percent of those surveyed said they approve of the job the president is doing so far in his final 365 days in office, up from the 46 percent rating he earned in his penultimate year. The 50 percent is also higher than the 47 percent approval average since 2009.

    Obama's approval is naturally split along partisan lines, with 87 percent of Democrats supporting his performance, an increase of 6 points from the beginning of 2016. Among Republicans, just 11 percent gave favorable marks to Obama, slightly down from the GOP average to date.

    When he's out of the headlines, his rating seems to go up.

    I'm surprised he even got 11% of Republicans.

    After a year of Trump it would be hard for me to vote against Obama.

    I bet conservatives love this headline by NBC News:

    Obama to Skip Nancy Reagan's Funeral to Attend South by Southwest

    Yeah, Republicans really on W when he skipped Lady Bird Johnson's funeral, didn't they?

    Because it's all about straight up decorum and not partisan posturing for Republicans, right?

    But that was Lady Bird Johnson. We're talking about the wife of Saint Ronnie here!

    I guess I shouldn't mock conservatives though since I am going to be voting for Donald Trump this election cycle.

    The implication being Donald Trump is very conservative? He's the least conservative candidate they have left

    Obama is doing significantly better than his most recent predecessor, George W. Bush, who had a 32% job approval rating in March 2008.

    ...

    In March 1988, 51% of U.S. adults approved of Ronald Reagan's job performance, almost identical to Obama's current rating.

    Yes, it is.

    With congress held by the opposing party, liberal polices that ruin our nation don't get across his desk to sign into law.

    When the candidates for the presidency are neocon Hillary, fascist Trump, and jeebusfreak Cruz, Obama ends up looking pretty ing good in comparison.

    Dude buys a Republican taco at Torchy's and SXSW/Spring Break Friday traffic turns out to be light.

    I didn't want to say jeebo since unlike Bush, Cruz is extremely smart.
