Obama Has a High Approval Among Those Who Pay Little or No Federal Income Taxes


A Gallop poll has found President Obama's approval at 46%, but the breakdown is very interesting. The only income group that that Obama scores over 50% with is those making $24,000 a year or less. In other words, the only Americans who support Obama at a rate of over 50% are those who pay the least in taxes.

CNS News reported:
The middle class is abandoning President Barack Obama, according to data released by the Gallup Poll. The only income bracket among which a majority still says they approve of the job he is doing as president are those earning $2,000 per month or less.

During the week of June 7-13, only 46 percent of Americans overall told Gallup they approved of the job Obama is doing...

But when the president’s approval is separated by incomes groups, it is only the lowest income bracket recorded by Gallup—those who earn less than $2,000 per month—that gives Obama a majority approval rating, with 52 percent saying they approved of the job he is doing as president.
