President Barack Obama’s approval rating continues to be at the lowest since he took office, according to Gallup.

In a new survey, Obama’s approval rating for September was charted at 41 percent, the same as the previous month.

Divided among politician stances, Obama’s approval rating rests at 79 percent among liberal democrats, 70 among moderate Democrats and 64 percent with conservative Democrats. 22 percent of those who identify themselves at liberal or moderate Republicans approve of the President’s performance, compared to only 7 percent of conservative Republicans. The President finds support from 30 percent of those who identify themselves as pure independents.

While Gallup notes that it’s too soon to draw concrete conclusions about what impact his approval ratings will hold one year ahead of the election, the agency notes that President’s historically require a 48-50 percent approval rating to win reelection.

The survey was conducted among 15,000 Americans throughout the month of August. The full results can seen here.
