Why Does the Presidents Approval Rating Fluctuate

Approval ratings are always going up and down, this depends on many factors from the price of gas, to the latest buzz, to hot button issues, to speeches, and of course just the mood of the country. Recently the Obama Committee and the Democrats have been making a stronger push to get things done and appeal to the public. They have stopped trying to please the republicans, and started following through with his promise for change. Obamacare is a great example of this.

What Does the Future Hold

At the moment Obama has a big lead. If Obamacare and other hot button issues continue to work in his favor, and Americans continue to see change and improvement it's going to be a long hard road for Romney. On the other hand if Romeny can pull together the republican party and appeal to centrists he could be giving Obama a run for his money.
