April 02, Gallup:

   Obama is enjoying a high 61 per cent job approval rating in America for his handling of foreign affairs, but has suffered a marginal slump in public backing on his tackling of the financial crisis, a national opinion poll has said.

   The approval on the foreign front is up by seven points since February, the Gallup said in its latest opinion poll on Obama released yesterday.

   His job approval rating for handling the economy at 56 per cent is down by a slight margin of three points. This is, however, higher than his rating for handling the federal budget deficit of 49 per cent, it said.
