Obama's average approval rating dismal

Maybe you are looking at adjusted for inflation numbers. His father was never worth 2 billion

 

Your right. Who has trump killed ?

Both were progressives Bush a little less so

 

Obama has been a so idealist President that he has done really a little in reality. So that I guess he will be reminded as the first African American President ... but not as a great President.

His idealism has made him forget that when you have to govern ... you have to be pragmatic!

 

Thanks Alpha and -- well -- after all he was just given an Oval Office enema.

 

Average rating means nothing. Bush got a boost after 9-11, which inflated his overall approval rating.

It's the rating when you leave office that matters. And ironically enough, Trump's presidency will even bolster Obama's approval ratings even more. It actually started to increase around June 2015...the moment Trump announced he was running for president.

Obama will have his presidency wedged in-between two awful GOP presidencies...which will make him look better in the long run.

Fox News and Rasmussen both had Obama with well above average approval ratings. In fact, the Trump brigade have been boasting about Rasmussen since it was the only poll that had Trump with a barely above average approval rating. So the amusing thing is...Obama actually did better than the current GOP president on a poll that leans heavily right wing.

 

That's what the GOP wants. If they can get Trump out of office, then the establishment GOP gets one of their own (Pence) to take over. Problem is, as bloody awful as Trump is...Pence is even worse.

Trump comes across as a blithering idiot, but I always suspected that he chose Pence as his VP for the precise reason to avoid impeachment. He knows that as much as the Democrats despise him...they would hate a president Pence even more. It's actually a genius move if you think about it.

 

Obama came across as a blithering Alinskyite, but I always suspected that he chose Biden as his VP for the precise reason to avoid impeachment. He knew that as much as real Americans despised him...they would hate a President Biden even more. It was a stupid move if you think about it. No freaking way would Congress impeach a black community organizer.

 

With Obama completing his second term with 59% approval, 37% disapproval, you'd think the Obama obsessives would not want to thereby draw attention to his successor's 43% approval, 52% disapproval (or Obama's predecessor's 32% approval, 61% disapproval, certainly.)

But uncontrollable fixations are like that.

 

It's funny that you say that, because Biden could have beaten Trump.

 

Biden ran for the Democrat nomination for President two or three times in the past and couldn't even get 1% of the Democrat's votes during the primaries.

Obama may be an Alinskyite and a community organizer but in Obama's deck of cards the Biden card was right next to the race card to be dealt if Congress were have upheld the Constitution and wrote up articles of impeachment.

 

I give Obama a B-Plus/A-Minus approval rating. His bailout of the US from a horrible recession was beautiful. His renewable energy support A+. His diplomacy - A. His comparison of the Christian crusades to modern-day Islamic terror was unwarranted.

 

The worst recovery since WW2 and you think it was good

 

Not sure what your measuring stick is. Stocks recovered beautifully, which indicates a general confidence in his economic policies. A terrible housing bubble and banking crisis was averted. And he saved our auto industry. Unemployment dropped dramatically.

 

It indicates the Fed has been pumping it up. He didnt save the auto industry either. They should have gone bankrupt and been restructured

 

I get it. You blame the Dems if things actually go bad, and then you give the GOP credit when things go good - regardless of who is in Office. Bush had 8 years, and left us with a terrible recession, the worst housing/banking crisis in history, a near-bankrupt auto industry, 2 wars, a very high budget deficit and the worst debt ever, and a DJI below 800. I suppose, somehow in your warped political logic, this was the Dems fault. I will remind you, that at one point he had all 3 Legislative branches. Thank you Obama - for bailing us out of this mess!

 

Find me defending Bush anywhere here since Ive been a member. Again Clinton set up the housing crash with his community reinvestment act. The mistake Bush made was doubling down on it

Obama had all three branches yet never passed immigration reform

You think the world was a safer p[ace under Obama and that he had a good foreign policy ?

Thanks for the worst recovery since any of us have been born Obama

If there was an honest media he would've been impeached with ease.

 

As the joke goes: Obama would only get his hands dirty when his ball had a bad lie.

 

yes they do, but keep in mind it is the same crowd that voted for the queen of corruption in the election, well, - 50 or so electoral votes worth of them, baaaahhhaaaaaa

 

wow, you really do like the coolade hey?
You listed things that happened while Obama was president,(well half of them actually did) but I digress.... Cubs won the world series too, want to throw that one in, lololo

wages are stagnant,
more people on food stamps than EVER
Obamacare is imploding onto itself, it was all lies

Do I have to post how bad things really were under Obama again ?

Yes Frank kept saying nothing was wrong. But it started under Clinton

GWB was a while republican and a dufus. Obama was even worse than him

 

I think it may have been Gerald Ford that said his tee shots never managed to be out of bounds when he reached them as they first appeared when hit them while he was President. Of course, I think he also is the President who cracked someone in the noggin with one of his shots.

 

Trump's early approval 42%. Obama's approval in January of 2009 - 69%, and a 12% disapproval rating.

http://www.gallup.com/poll/113968/obama-initial-approval-ratings-historical-context.aspx

Your data is wrong on the Obama approval at the end also - from many sources - average more than 55% approval (Gallup 58%).
