According to the latest Robinson Poll, job approval numbers for President Millworth are looking up. President Millworth began his Presidency with a low job approval rating - a result of a close but hard-fought campaign. This dipped even further amid the announcement of his intention to go forward with divorce proceedings and was almost assuredly compounded by his original Press Secretary's missteps. However, as the Robinson Poll suggests, the numbers seem to be improving as the President has gained significant strides with the introduction of new bills. These figures indicate that the public has, as recently as this January, favorably responded to the President's vision of "new ideas for new times."
While the President's numbers are on the upswing, the White House scandals have taken a heavy toll on Congressional approval ratings. During the scandals, Congressional Republicans enjoyed a brief boost in the polls. As the President's numbers have increased, the Republicans' numbers have evened out. Congressional Democrats, on the other hand, were less effected by the scandal and have seen more significant rises in their approval numbers. (Actual figures listed below.)
| October | November | December | January | |
| President Millworth | 46 | 42 | 45 | 48 |
| Congressional Democrats | 34 | 33 | 32 | 36 |
| Congressional Republicans | 42 | 44 | 39 | 40 |
