Majority of Americans Appreciate Obama's Job as a President

A growing number of Americans doubt Barack Obama's ability to manage the nation. This was indicated in the poll, carried out by Meetville.com (dating app to find the right person) between 4/28/14 and 8/27/14.

The poll measured people’s responses to the following question: “Is Barack Obama doing a good job as a president?” Results were interesting: “Yes” - 56%, “No” - 44%.

Chris Weigl, Screenwriter and Political Consultant, observes that “Many Americans take it for granted that President Obama has been one of the most effective Presidents since Franklin D. Roosevelt. Nonetheless, it doesn’t change the fact that President Obama has a lot of work to do to regain voter support if he wants to end his presidency with better favorability numbers.”

Respondents numbered 82,601. From the USA - 48%, from Canada - 4%, from Britain - 13%, from Australia - 8% and from other countries - 27%.

According to Alex Cusper, Meetville service analyst, “Global approval of President Barack Obama’s policies has declined significantly since he first took office. However, in many of the countries people continue to express confidence in President Obama’s foreign policy leadership. In particular, he still gets extremely high ratings in much of Europe.”
