While President Obama was getting beaten up in a poll we noted earlier today for not doing enough about rising gasoline prices, the latest Gallup poll indicates that his overall job approval rating is rising. The President’s rating rose to 49% over the weekend, in the same neighborhood as his overall approval rating of 46% in the Washington Post-ABC News poll results released earlier today.

According to Gallup, the President’s approval rating rose from a Februrary rating of 48% and his weekly average approval rating rose to its highest point since last May. Just after he took office in 2009 his approval rating was at its peak, 67%.

The recent focus on the issues of contraception and abortion were thought to bolster Obama’s ratings among women, but the Gallup poll showed that the President’s support grew most among men, from 41% to 45%. Among women the President had a 51% approval rating, up from 49%.

The polls seem to indicate that as the US economy improves so does the President’s job approval rating. Similarly, though, if gasoline prices continue to rise, his approval numbers are just as likely to fall.
