Obama has an approval rate for his jobs of 42% and a disapproval rate of 51%. He has one of the lowest approval rating in December of a presidents 3rd year in office, since Dwight Eisenhower. This is also one of the lowest point of his own presidency. His rating do seem to be rising slowly but it’s not definite whether it will continue rising, or if it will make any difference.
He seems to be at the area where presidents do not win reelection, based on approval. He has constantly been in the 40% rate, and this does not bode well for him. He will have to either get his approval rating up, or make sure that the Republicans have an even lower approval rate. Newt Gingrich has accumulated the greatest approval of all of the other candidates, including Romney in the past month. If he wins the nomination he will face strong opposition from the Democratic Party and probably attacks on his approval, in order for the Democratic Party to attempt to get Obama reelected. Obama could still win the election with such a low approval rate because rating is not everything. If Obama faces a weak Republican candidate or can undermine the Republicans, he may still have a chance. However, based solely on approval rating, it is not looking too good for Obama.
