LOL. The fact that his approval rating is only 44% when our economy is doing good says a lot. Once it does go into another recession how will folks feel about him?
And I ask this as recessions are a normal activity in a capitalistic society. It doesn't matter who is in charge. A persons temperament is vital to them being president. Acting like a child makes for a bad president.
Upon entering office Obama had a 69% approval rating, and a 59% when he left office. Here you are literally bragging about how great Trumps.....44% rating.
Trumps average approval rating? 38.5% Thats the worst average of any president in my lifetime.
How could Obama garner an approval rating so high when he only got 52.9% of the popular vote? And some of that, a lot, probably, was fraudulent, making the actual vote percentage even lower.
Anyway, a January 2009 approval poll of 69 must be an error. It doesn't math out. Why would 17% of the electorate approve of him when he hasn't done a damn thing yet, and they voted for the other guy. Seems like an error of some kind. Fraud perhaps.
His average approval rating was 47.9% according to Gallup - assuming there entire methodology isn't suspect based on the clearly impossible 69 score for a first month approval rating. And that is not appreciably higher than what Trump is at right now. A marginally more popular president isn't important - its the long term benefit of what he can accomplish that should be the measure anyway. Approval ratings can only measure a sentiment at one point in time. http://news.gallup.com/poll/116677/p...cs-trends.aspx
Really the fact that radical progressives like Obama can ever become so popular is the problem. It reveals we have a problem population in this country....and it will be a chore how to reduce that.

Why? What has he done that is Bi-partisan? What has he done to bring this country together? Answer to both, nothing. Thus a low approval rating.
You're right.
Nothing. But that's because the constructive action was rejected by Democrats. You know, tax cut, judicial approvals, downsizing departments, reducing regulations - all opposed by Dems and therefore all unilateral.
So he hasn't done anything bipartisan. Just like you said.

Just bringing back billions to America from overseas . Trillions to the stock market . Historically low unemployment rates for minorities..
Etc etc ..
list goes on
I guess all that stuff just helps Republicans though
I don't understand the constant need to compare the two presidents. I really don't see what it proves.
I wasn't a Obama supporter, but it seems like there is a group that is obsessed about comparing the 2 presidents.
It's "What-about-ism" pure and simple. Not going to go away any time soon.
