Less than 10 percent of likely voters this election cycle say they’re “enthusiastic” about the Obama administration, according to a new Associated Press-Gfk poll.
The Washington Post notes that the survey included a question beyond the typical approval-disapproval rating, asking participants to measure their enthusiasm about the Obama presidency thus far. The poll offered four options: Enthusiastic; Satisfied but not enthusiastic; Dissatisfied but not angry; Angry.
Just nine percent of likely voters said they were “enthusiastic,” with another 28 percent saying they were “satisfied, but not enthusiastic.” The total of respondents with a positive take on President Obama (37 percent) is barely more than the amount that are “angry” (34 percent). The remaining 28 percent said they were “dissatisfied, but not angry.”
The percentage of “enthusiastic” likely voters is down from 11 percent in last month’s AP-Gfk survey.
