Poll Tracker

So, now to Obama. Voters approve of the job he is doing by 62 percent to 29 percent with 8 percent undecided, a net gain of seven points since late March. Like a Gallup poll published today, Fox found that most people (56 percent) say Obama is meeting their expectations, with 26 percent saying he has exceeded them, and 16 percent rating him worse than expected. Asked if the 2012 election were held today if they would vote for Obama or someone else, 52 percent said they'd back Obama while 31 percent would choose someone else.

Change was the big theme of the 2008 campaign and, now that Obama is in office, 51 percent said he has brought real change while 40 percent say it's just more of the same.

As for bipartisanship 43 percent believe the atmosphere in Washington has become more partisan while 31 percent judge it as more bipartisan and 15 percent say there has been no change. Despite Obama's talk of ending the partisan divide, 47 percent think the parties will grow further apart and 38 percent say Obama will end the bickering. Republicans and independents believe more than Democrats that things have become more partisan with 56 percent of Republicans saying so, 50 percent of independents and 32 percent of Democrats.

Those polled were not satisfied with the way things were going in the country by 53 percent to 46 percent, which was different from the finding of an Allstate/National Journal poll which had Americans thinking the country on the right track by 47 percent to 42 percent.

Here are the approval-to-disapproval ratings for Obama in other polls out this week keyed to the first 100 days:

• Gallup: 56 percent excellent or good, 23 percent "just okay," 20 percent "poor" or "terrible."
• Allstate/National Journal: 61 percent approving, 28 percent disapproving.
• Public Policy Polling: 53 percent approving, 41 percent disapproving.
• Pew Research Center: 63 percent approving, 26 percent disapproving.
