President Barack Obama has come back to Earth a bit.

The latest Franklin & Marshall poll has Obama’s approval rating at 45%. That’s a decline of seven points, though it should be noted that last month’s was one of his best performances ever.

Of that 45% who approve, 19% say he is doing an excellent job and 26% call it a good job. On the other hand, 38% believe he’s doing a poor job and 16% only a fair job.

If you don’t include July’s results, these were the President’s best numbers since October 2012.

The 44th President is also still far ahead of his predecessor as you can see in the chart below:

This poll was conducted by the Center for Opinion Research at Franklin & Marshall College on behalf of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs. They surveyed 736 registered Pennsylvania voters from August 25th to August 29th. The margin of error is +/- 4.6%.
