In America, Obama's approval rating have... stagnated, after dropping a lot. Last I checked he was around 40%.

However, as for the right wingers in America, it's a mixed bag. Based on my observations, it seems like the right-wingers who are gaining a lot of ground in terms of public opinion and populism are the economically-right, socially-liberal Libertarians. This demographic appears to be growing (especially on the Internet), while to me it seems like the hard-liner, old-school, social conservative, evangelical right-wing is vanishing.
I could be wrong on these observations, but nonetheless it is what I perceive.In America, Obama's approval rating have... stagnated, after dropping a lot. Last I checked he was around 40%.
It's more like 45-48%, if you check RealClearPolitics. Which is pretty average, if you ask me.

It's actually pretty good comparing other presidents on a similar timeline. Which I think in part is due to the dominance on a minority coalition plus a sizable majority support that will probably never see him dip under 33% even if he used the constitution as a dining cloth.

Look at nations with left wing governments; France is currently lead by the Socialists, and they fucked it up. Naturally, the right raises in retaliation.
On the other hand, look at Greece. Run by rightists, and they fucked up, so now they're run by the extreme left, who is now fucking up, starting the cycle all over again

I'd say that politics is becoming more polarized, and the only reason why you don't hear about leftists - many of them anyway - is that they have largely abandoned representative democracy and are trying to change it. Anarchism is the replacement for radical left politics that filled the gap where the Soviet Union was. Fascism always will come down to despotism and will use whatever means necessary to come to power.
Minor gripe by the way, UKIP almost certainly will not be a major party in the HoC, I'd wager it will get around 4 or 5 seats, putting it far behind Labour, the Conservatives, Lib Dems and the SNP. Also, Canada is certainly extremely conservative now with Harper in power.

Canada's not conservative, in fact Justin Trudeau has been in the lead for most of the polls, they're around neck and neck now.

Maybe, but if you look at the graphs together, his looks relatively average.

The Gallup poll you cited there is the one outlier among nine recent approval rating polls. I check Gallup almost daily, also, and it's been more unfavorable than favorable consistently in recent months. I think it may be slightly up in Gallup's poll in response to the successful Iran nuclear deal or something of that sort.

And I doubt that Syriza will restore any confidence. If you haven't noticed Greece will run out of money in 9th april and today is 6th.
