The numbers among Democrats (generally very good) and republicans have remained relatively unchanged. The percentage of self-identified Democrats in this sample (36%) is significantly higher than the percentage (30%) in the November poll. There has been a significant improvement in approval among “Independents” and, as a result, there is a corresponding improvement in President Obama’s overall numbers. It is possible that the November poll numbers were an outlier.

The numbers among Democrats, republicans and “Independents” have remained relatively unchanged, though the percentage of self-identified Democrats in this sample (30%) is significantly lower than the percentage (37%) in the September poll. The percentage of republicans and “Independents” sampled in the November poll are correspondingly higher.

Get 24% of Democrats and/or 18% of self-identified Liberals to weigh in additionally in the approval column and the president’s overall approval numbers would look quite a bit better.

You got to dance with them what brung you. Go figure.

There has also been a relatively small, though still continuing, decline in approval among Democrats. The republican approval numbers have remained essentially unchanged. The “Independent” numbers have improved. While the “Independent” numbers have improved slightly this subsample is larger than the August poll and contributed to the decline in the overall approval number. The difference between the August and September approval numbers is still within the margin of error in both polls.

The “Independents” in this poll appear to be a little underrepresented and a little more positive than the bracketing April and June polls.

There is a distinct gender gap in both the May and June polls, with women giving higher approval numbers to President Obama.

It’ll be interesting to see how these numbers move (or don’t) over time.
