Interesting.

Obama has a -10% competency rating.

Obama has a 40% approval rating (-13%).


Would the country today be better off under Obama or Romney: Romney +7%.

Both Men (+12%) and Women (+2%) agree that Romney would have made a better president.

Youth (18 to 29) still think Obama would have been better than Romney at +11% to Obama.

Independents prefer Romney by +14% over Obama.


Under Obama, has the economy 26% improved, 31% declined, 46% stayed the same.


Worst presidents post WWII: #1 Obreezey 33%, #2 GWB 28%, #3 Nixon 13%, #4 Carter 8%.

Best presidents post WWII: #1 Reagan 35%, #2 Clinton 18%, #3 JFK 15%, #4 Obreezey 8%, #5 Ike 5%.

Hahahaha. They obviously just polled the elderly white men watching Faux Noise. The Democrats are 100% certain to retain the Senate this year, there's a good chance they'll retake the House, and Hillary (or Elizabeth Warren or Martin O'Malley) is certain to win 400+ electoral votes in 2016. Don't you forget it, elderly white men!

OBAMA! OBAMA!

dumb poll. cant judge a presidency til 10-20 years after it to see if the policies worked. nobody will know about obamacare until the mid 2020's at the earliest.

reactionary poll for dumb people who cannot think long term and are just reactionary towards the now.

Sore loser talk. Obama is losing in polls and it may hurt his party in the 2014 midterms...if only the GOP were organized and efficient themselves.

There is truth that you need time to properly assess a president - it removes a lot of emotion (like chanting a mantra over and over) and clarifies the effects of policy.

However, there is nothing wrong with approval polls, and current snap shots - it does show a good image of the current sentiment of a country.

Anyone being objective knows Obama is incompetent and Romney would have been a better leader. I suspect even many liberals would concede that, they just don't agree with Romney's politics.

This is old news. I'm surprised someone would waste money polling people.

It is just an expanded poll of their usual presidential approval rating etc poll. Same normal poll - few added questions.
