President Obama’s approval rating has slid slightly over the second quarter of 2009, according to polling data released on Monday.
The Gallup tracking poll shows that Obama hit a low point of 56 percent in early July. Over the quarter, though, Obama averaged a 62 percent approval rating.
The Gallup numbers come on the same day that a Washington Post/ABC News poll found Obama’s numbers slipping both generally and on specific issues.
Gallup notes, though, that Obama’s second quarter numbers, as a whole, are still better than his immediate predecessors.
There is a margin of error if plus or minus 1 percent in Gallup’s tracking poll.
