Obama’s job approval rating following the presidential election is at 57 percent — its highest since September 2009 — while his favorability was at 59 percent. His unfavorability is 38 percent.

Obama’s better approval rating can be attributed to Republicans and GOP-leaning independents, the poll said.

Despite the president's high numbers, the Democratic Party is struggling, with 54 percent saying they view the party unfavorably — the highest total since 1992.

The favorability of Republicans, though, has gone up 5 points since the summer, with 41 percent having a favorable view of the party. Fifty-two percent have an unfavorable view of President-elect Donald Trump Donald John TrumpOmar fires back at Trump over rally remarks: 'This is my country' Pelosi: Trump hurrying to fill SCOTUS seat so he can repeal ObamaCare Trump mocks Biden appearance, mask use ahead of first debate MORE’s party.
