Trump job approval beats out Obama's at same time in presidency

Dated: February 20, 2020 by Sharyl Attkisson 5 Comments

      

The latest numbers from Gallup show President Trump not only maintaining his all time high when it comes to job approval, they also show him beating President Obama's number at the same time in his presidency.

According to Gallup, President Trump's February 2020 job approval is at 49%. That's 4 percentage points higher than when he took office. President Obama's job approval was 45% in February 2012, toward the beginning his fourth year in office.

Although President Obama's rating was lower than Trump's, it was improved over Obama's late 2011 figures. According to Gallup, Obama was "generally in the low 40% range from August through December, including monthly approval averages of 41% in August, September, and October, and 43% in November and December."

According to Gallup, President George W. Bush was re-elected in 2004 with 48% approval at the time of the election.

Obama's job approval dipped to 40% in August and September of 2011; November and December 2013; January, February, March and November of 2014.

    It is important for all Americans to urge your congressman in all States, to allow American's to be allowed to File bankruptcy on these out of control, preditory Healthcare procedures costs !. It's been going on before Donald Trump took office. Much like the 2007 out of Control preditory Home Mortgages , that got delt with in 2008 .If it's good enough for the big Banks also to get bailed out with the Stock Markets, Quip pro !.. Or vote in New politician's that Will regulate healthcare procedure costs. Or allow people's making less then 65,000 Dollars a year to file Bankruptcy on these out of control Healthcare procedure costs ... Let no temptations of precious metals or Debt , bound mankind to the slavery of time ! _ Wm. Andrew's in memory of Abraham Lincoln
