When tracking President Obama’s job approval on a daily basis, people sometimes get so caught up in the day-to-day fluctuations that they miss the bigger picture.

President Obama’s total job approval remained unchanged at 47% in August, still tying the president’s lowest approval rating since December 2011. The president’s ratings for the past three months are more in line with his approval during most of his first term in office.
