A Quinnipiac poll released today finds President Obama with a 58% job approval rating, and 51% of Americans believing his budget is needed to fix the economy.

Four in five Democrats support the President's budget, as do a slim majority of independents. Three-fourths of Republicans oppose it.

The survey also found that 81% of Americans support limiting executive compensation at firms that have received federal help. There is a bill on the House floor now that would do just that.

Obama now has a 61.0% approval rating in the RCP Job Approval Average
