Over the past week, polls have shown that President Obama's approval ratings have yet to be hampered by the recent controversies surrounding the administration.
A right-leaning columnist responded to this by saying, "Just wait a couple months, and his numbers won't be nearly as high as they are today."
The thing about it is the economy has been improving under President Obama, and an increasing number of people are beginning to both see and feel that for themselves. It's one thing to simply hear politicians state, "Things are looking up," and quite another to actually see and feel these improvements for yourself. As long as things are looking up as far as the economy is concerned, chances are the president's approval rating won't drop too significantly.
Where the president may be most likely to see a drop in his approval numbers is with regard to his personal likability. However, one doesn't need to like a person in order to think he or she is good at what they do. While a person may despise his or her boss on a personal level, deep down, they feel a sense of respect due to how well both he/she and his/her company is doing. So, so long as things continue to improve economically, the president's approval rating will likely remain around or above 50%.
