President Barack Obama's approval rating stands at 55% in a new CNN/ORC poll, the highest mark of his second term, and matching his best at any time since his first year in office.
The new rating outpaces his previous second-term high -- reached just after a Democratic convention that extolled the successes of his presidency -- by one point, and hits a level he's reached just twice since the end of his first year in office: In January 2013 just before his second inauguration and in January 2011.
The new poll continues a streak in which Obama's approval rating has been at 50% or higher in CNN/ORC polls since February, a seven month run that is his longest since 2009. And taken together, Obama's approval ratings in 2016 average 51% so far in CNN/ORC polls, his best mark since that first year in office.
I have said before that the more people see of Donald Trump the more they appreciate President Obama.He is a perfect 10 in our book. #TeamUSA 🇺🇸 http://pic.twitter.com/kxyB3mx6RP— The First Lady (@FLOTUS) September 29, 2016
And of course only helps Hillary Clinton's chances of winning this election.
Which right now look pretty damn good.
