A majority of people in the United States disapprove of the job President Barack Obama is doing in the Oval Office, according to a new poll.

The Gallup poll said 51 percent of voters disapproved of his job and 43 percent approved.

However, the US president's favorability ratings increased by four points since March.

Fifty-three percent of Americans have a favorable view of the president.

The Gallup also said the gap between the president’s job approval and favorable ratings has been as wide as eight points, and as narrow as two points.

The latter took place after Obama was re-elected in November 2012, when his favorable rating was 58 percent and his job approval was 56 percent.

The Gallup poll was conducted among 1,024 adults May 6-10.

Another poll conducted by the Fox News last month showed 53 percent of American voters disapprove of Obama’s overall job performance, while 42 percent approve.

The survey found that 52 percent of Americans disapprove of the job Obama is doing regarding the economy while 45 percent approve.

The poll also shows that 53 percent of voters disapprove of the president’s strategy to counter terrorism, compared to 40 percent who approve.

Fifty-five percent of voters disapprove on healthcare, whereas 43 percent approve.
