There's generally a correlation. You know....seldom is one popular if they're totally ineffective. Ineffectiveness and popularity are usually mutually exclusive terms.
Of course, except in THIS case (of course).
So your lesson for the day is that popularity is fleeting?
Wow. What a motherlode of originality that is. I mean, who knew that?
Yeah..that's why they're prom queens.
Not that you'd know anything about that.
I report. You decide.
However I'd caution you against thinking Americans are so smart and the rest of the world is so dumb.
Overall the Obama administration pulled the US out of the economic toilet the Republicans put us in, as they always do when in power, so kudos to them.
Polls always stir up angst. So, a bit less than half of a thousand people polled say Obama is a glowing beacon of hope and ethereal light. He won the NPP , just for doing...what? Exactly was it, again? But...whatever. Soon, he passes into history, such as it will be. What, I wonder, will he be remembered for, as his most shining example of leadership?
Guess I'm a bit...sheltered. I must have been preoccupied on the day he saved the nation, and the, on to the world. Ahhh...but it could be the high quality of the folks he surrounds himself with. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Bill Ayers, Chuck Schumer, Joe Biden, and any other number of more obscure, but...profitable..relationships he has cultivated, foreign and domestic. Hey, he's got a selfie with the Chancellor of Germany. . None of us can say that. Yep...greatness. incarnate and extant.
What is going on with you lately? You're usually sharper than this, but the last two threads I've seen you start, you are really losing it.
A thousand people speaks for the entire world? And of those thousand, only 45% said they approved. How many of those who approved actually live in the US, having to live under this ridiculous administration?
A thousand people. Seriously.
There's 196 countries right now, (who knows what we'll have in a year from now), that's not even one person per country. There's over 7 billion people in this world.
This poll is a joke.
You need to take a stats course. It does speak for the entire world, or whatever population they wanted to sample, with a margin of error of 2.5% according to the post (I haven't done the math). There is a lot one can find fault with in any poll, but sample size is pretty much just a calculation.
The thread title says "Obama admin most popular....", but the poll question was not about Obama, it was about nations. United States leadership was ranked #1.
Democrats enjoy a complicit, friendly US media. This in turn facilitates a complicit, friendly international media. Most people get their opinions from the media.
Anyone besides me able to connect those particular dots?

ok...but what was the ACTUAL questions (didn't see them listed in the link)
but did see this:
Quote:
The Obama administration has the highest approval rating of any country in the world among foreign citizens, according to a new poll conducted by Gallup. Forty-five percent of those polled approved of U.S. leadership, down one percentage point from 2013.
and the chart only shows 5 contestants us,eu,germany, china, Russia
oh and one other thing...ASK(poll) 1000 people to name 5 top leaderships(ie countries not parties)...they probably can only name 5 or 6...
and who would they name (NO MATTER WHO (or what party) held the office) lets see us, china, Germany, Russia, maybe the eu(more likely great Britton than naming an EU(which is 2 dozen countries))(btw even funnier is they name the EU and they name Germany (part of the EU))
btw2... hmm the USA(not Obama) ranked higher than Belgium, Norway, Sweden......
