President Obama's job approval in the RCP Average is 63.7%.

Meanwhile, Congress begins its session with a new president it much the same position as it left town under the old one - with a 21.4% job approval rating in the RCP Average.

Nearly 7 in 10 Americans still feel the country is on the wrong track, with only 23.2% saying we're headed in the right direction. As a point of reference, you have to go back to late 2003 and early 2004 to find the last positive recording in the right direction/wrong track poll data.
