Barack Obama's overall job approval rating is at 57% and his rating
for handling the economy is at 43%. Obama's overall approval
rating of 57% is up from 50% in September, while his rating of 43% for handling the
economy is down from 49% in September.
The
disconnect between Obama's overall job approval rating and
his rating for handling the economy
is most pronounced among independents. While independents give
Obama a 57% approve and 42%
disapprove overall rating, they give Obama a 29% approve and
50% disapprove rating for the
way Obama is handling the economy. In September, independents
gave Obama a 36% approve and
57% disapprove overall rating and a 32% approve and 63% disapprove
rating for his handling
of the economy. Those saying the national economy is in a recession
is at it lowest point in American Research Group monthly surveys
in over a year. A total of
53% of Americans say the national economy is in a recession,
21% say that it is not in a recession,
and 26% are undecided. Surprisingly, 52% of those saying they
approve of the way Obama is handling
his job say the national economy is in a recession and 52%
of those saying the disapprove of
the way Obama is handling his job also say the national economy
is in a recession. A total
of 57% of Republicans, 53% of Democrats, and 50% of independents
say the national economy is
in a recession.
