Obama could leave office with highest approval rating in 4 years

President Obama enters the final month of his presidency with a higher job approval rating than at any point in the last four years, according to a Quinnipiac University released Monday.

About half of U.S. voters currently approve of the job Obama is doing, the highest score the outgoing Democratic president has received since a poll taken after his re-election victory in December 2012. A combined 55 percent of voters described Obama as a “great” or “good” president, while 22 percent said he has been a poor leader.
