He deserves it. “He reminds swing voters of the basic decency they miss in politics,” Schale said. “I believe a lot of the increase in his popularity of late has to do with a visceral reaction to the abrasive vitriol of Trump. They see Obama as measured and thoughtful, dare I say with the right kind of temperament to hold the rudder of a nation through the troubled global waters. His style creates an inherent contrast with Trump, and it is a contrast that benefits Clinton.”

So, Trump is going to have to break off a significant portion of people that approve of Obama to win the presidency. Well, considering Tumps disdain of Obama and disgusting birther bs I'd say there's a snowballs chance in hell of that happening.

And a lot of people on here thought that Obama's approval rating would be just as low as Bushes 27% when he left office. Wrong again. But hey, it is almost exactly twice as much if that makes you feel better.

Ahhh yes. A scientific poll by CNN and Gallup is bs but a Drudge online instant poll is the gold standard. I guess our school system really is pretty crappy.

Despotic regimes? Lol. We do have a separation of powers here you know. Unless you consider congressional Republicans part of our "despotism." Trump is providing a good introduction into the subject though.

How about this... you are entitled to your own opinions but not your own facts. Gallup has him at 53% too. You may not enjoy it but it doesn't change the truth. Of course if you have better evidence feel free to provide it. Otherwise you'll just have to accept reality or enjoy denial.

Oh wait, wait. You must be a Fox news guy (nothing but the gold standard for you). Yeah, so they only have him at 52% approval. Does that make you feel better?

This "poll" was based off of a whopping 1,501 contributors.

Conducted by phone...which area codes?

Yah, so the Fox poll I referenced in post number 8 has him at 52% if it makes you feel better. There is always denialism too.
