President Barack Obama's popularity ratings have slumped in the six months since his re-election.
President Barack Obama is only more popular than Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon at this point in his presidency, according to a new survey released Monday.
And Obama is in danger of following in the footsteps of George W. Bush and Harry Truman, whose popularity tracked closely with Obama's current rating. Both Bush and Truman saw their lowest approval ratings in their final years of their second presidential term, according to Gallup.
An analysis released Monday by the polling firm showed Obama's approval rating averaged 47.9 percent during this quarter, marking a decline in the six months following his election.
"Obama's best quarterly average to date was during his first quarter in office, during the honeymoon phase of his presidency, when he averaged 63 percent approval," wrote Jeff Jones, a Gallup poll analyst in a memo. "The more recent decline in Obama's job approval rating is similar to what Gallup has observed for U.S. economic confidence [surveys]."
