Donald Trump’s Approval Rating 5 Points Higher Than Barack Obama’s at Same Point in His Presidency: Rasmussen Poll By Greg Price On 8/2/18 at 1:17 PM
President Donald Trump received an approval rating 5 points higher than his predecessor, Barack Obama, achieved 18 months into his first term in office, according to a new poll released Thursday.
The latest Rasmussen Reports poll, which has often reflected higher approval ratings for Trump than most other major polls, pegged Trump’s latest rating at 50 percent. In August 2010, Obama earned a 45 percent approval rating.
The current president also received a disapproval rating of 49 percent, with 35 percent strongly approving of his job performance and 41 percent strongly disapproving. The poll drew results from 1,500 likely voters between Monday and Wednesday and had a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.
The same poll has produced similar results before. This past December, Trump picked up a 46 percent approval rating, with 53 percent disapproving, and those figures mirrored Obama’s results from Rasmussen’s poll in December 2009.
Though he dwindled and fell into the high or mid-30s late last year, Trump has experienced a boost over the past eight months and held relatively steady in the mid- to high 40s. Following his poor showing in August 2010, Obama would not earn 50 percent approval until January 2011, according to Gallup’s historical results.
During his second year in office, Obama routinely registered approval ratings in the mid- to low 40s.
