US President Barack Obama has hit the highest mark for his job approval rating for his second term in the office, CNN/ORC released last Thursday. His 55% approval rating is up by 11% and almost similar to the September 2015 poll and it's the President's highest mark ever since he steps in the office last 2013.
Obama's approval rating hit its highest mark after he delivered his speech before the Democratic Convention were he aggressively campaign and endorse Hillary Clinton. He stated that there is no man or woman that is more qualified than Clinton and America is strong, great and that greatness does not depend on Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, whose qualifications he have constantly questioned.
Politico reported that it is the Democrats that should be acknowledged in the recent poll - the trust and warm feelings that he his getting on the Democratic party is up by 12 points to 89 percent, while the Independents approval rating climbed 14 points to 56 percent. As expected, Republicans has only slight increase on his rating by 2 points by 13 percent.
"He's the guy with the enormous influence among young people and African Americans and Hispanics and women who are likely to play an important role in determining the outcome of this race," spokesman Josh Earnest said .
African-Americans still show full support to the President Obama as they gave an approval rating of 86 percent; the Hispanics as well increased their share of points by 8 of 68 percent, his approval rating for the White voters has increased too; it climbed from 32 percent last fall up to 47 percent on the recent poll and has a margin of error of plus and minus by 2.5 percentage.
The high approval rating of the outgoing president would likely transfer to the popularity of the Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, as he campaigns her to be the successor on the Oval office. The US elections will be this November and it is a close fight between Clinton and Trump.
