Obama's Approval Hits 52 Percent On Gallup

<..> And the Gallup tracking poll suggests a post-convention break-out in Obama's job approval. It doesn't include the whole convention yet. But national approval of Obama is now at 52 percent, a real breakthrough - especially since Gallup has been leaning a little GOP much of this year. More striking: that's the highest approval rating for Obama since 2009.

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama regained some footing and overtook his Republican rival Mitt Romney in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Friday, a day after the end of the Democratic convention.

In what appears to be a convention-induced bounce, Obama jumped ahead in the latest daily tracking poll with 46 percent of 1,434 likely voters saying they would vote for him if the November 6 elections were held today, topping Romney's 44 percent.

<..> Asked who was the more likable candidate, 52 percent of registered voters surveyed favored Obama compared to 29 percent for Romney. Among independents, Obama enjoyed a likability advantage of 50 percent to 22 percent for Romney.

Obama also widened his lead over Romney in categories of "represents America" (Obama 44 percent, Romney 37 percent), "tough enough for the job" (Obama 42 percent, Romney 37 percent) and "will protect American jobs" (Obama 40 percent, Romney 37 percent).
