UTICA, New York - President Barack Obama's job performance rating has fallen
slightly to 49% in the most recent Zogby Interactive survey, slipping below the
majority job approval mark of 52% he enjoyed late last month.
The Zogby Interactive survey of 3,694 likely voters nationwide found 49%
approving of Obama's job performance, 51% disapproving and 1% undecided. The
survey was conducted Oct. 16-19, 2009, and carries a margin of error of +/- 1.6
percentage points. A Sept. 28 Zogby Interactive survey was the first time since
early June that President Barack Obama's job performance received majority
approval in a Zogby Interactive poll of likely voters.
