U.S. President Barack Obama averaged a 61% job approval rating for the month of June, down from his 65% average in May, and one point below his previous monthly low of 62%, recorded in March.
Four in 10 U.S. voters say they would be very (19%) or somewhat likely (24%) to vote for Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin for president in 2012. After her resignation last week, 70% say their views of Palin have not changed and 53% describe media coverage of her as “unfairly negative.”
Barack Obama’s recent job approval ratings have hovered around 60%. Since they remain above the historical average of 55% approval, he is arguably still in the honeymoon phase of his presidency. Recent presidents have averaged just seven months above this benchmark, much less than those from 1945-1974.
The recent Virginia and New Jersey state elections played out in the context of broad, national trends relating to the mood of the nation, the economy and the role of government.
