New Hotline/Diageo poll (July 9-13) shows President Obama's job approval at 56%, a drop of nine points from their last survey one month ago. Meanwhile, those disapproving of the job Obama is doing as president jumped 7 points to 38%.
These numbers are nearly identical Obama's job ratings in the latest RCP Average:
To put the recent slide in President Obama's job approval in some perspective, look at the spread (i.e. the difference between those who approve of the job he's doing versus those who disapprove) below the line graph. During the month of June, Obama's spread averaged +26.2 points. In the first 15 days of July, it's averaged +21.2 points.
