A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds President Obama’s job approval rating at 51%, while 45% disapprove.
“Although tepidly positive, those are Obama’s best numbers since May 2013… The movement in his ratings — which we would emphasize has not yet been verified in other public polls — has been slight on a month-to-month basis. But his ratings have moved in a positive direction in two consecutive Post-ABC surveys.”
