Obama Ratings Still Strong in California

“Despite political fallout from his prisoner exchange, the unfolding scandal in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and growing unrest in the Middle East, President Obama has maintained encouraging job ratings in California, where he’s buoyed by a scarcity of Republicans,” according to the new Field Poll.

“Half of California voters support the president’s job performance, with 39 percent disapproving. The figures released Tuesday contrast sharply with the nationwide average that shows 42 percent approving and 54 percent expressing an unfavorable opinion.”
