The REAL poll took place at the ballot box.
I'm pretty sure that every poll out there is just designed to try and influence how people think instead of reflect what the entire nation really thinks.

I look at it like this. We are a little over one year into his presidency and it seems like there are two schools of people. Those who think he is doing a good job and those who hate his guts.
He got about 63 million votes total. I'm going to assume for every person who voted for him there is another person who likes him so I would guess there are somewhere around 126 million people who like and support him which is about 40% of the population so IMO his approval rating would likely be somewhere in that range. So far, there hasn't been some huge event that could change it one way or the other so I think it is going to hover around here for a while unless something really good or really bad happens.
