Not really seeing this correlation of yours.
Bush squeezed through. Also, all his lies had not caught up to him yet. Obama was a landslide. It was over before it started. Facts are facts.

Well...according to this piece, that might not be the case.

Obama Administration Wins High Approval Ratings Worldwide - US News

Don't blame me...they said it....not me.
One of the benefits of owning your own propaganda machine.....".....and the world is now a much more peaceful place'.

Such is the fantasy world Obama has created for his mesmerized minions.

Oh yeah...I'm usually sharper than this, huh? Just state your opinion...you don't have to be patronizing.

It's Gallup. You know...the folks that make a lot of money doing this stuff. But hey...you know the science of polling better than THEY do.
Actually, while I'd buy their "total" numbers....breaking it down any further than that would get really dicey really fast with that sample size.

In short, general world opinion of Obama is probably decently estimated by the poll.

The opinion of say France with regards to the US would not likely be statistically valid because they are polling so many different countries that they can only have on average 8 or so respondants per country.

P.S. The problem isn't Gallup. It's morons with journalism degrees taking numbers and running with them like scissors. If they're not quoting what Gallup is actually claiming....I'd ignore their conclusions.

Obama is quite popular among America's enemies.....because he's one of them.

Not to mention destroying the union and middle class workers via illegal immigration policies that allow anyone to walk across the border.

It's time to put the big girl panties on and admit electing someone because they are black and not because they are qualified was a complete failure. Impeach this moron and let Biden take over for the remainder of the term. At least he will be quiet and suck his binky and not get into anymore trouble until we can put someone in office that knows what the hell they are doing.
Here...have a Snickers.

You do that.

Look, I made no grandiose claims on my OP, nor did I read more into the link than what's there.

But I'm not gonna ignore the result of the poll.

You're right. My folks watch FOX News 24/7 and they don't know a damn thing that is going on. It's sad, really.

Since the other member did not answer, I will ask you... how did Bush and Cheney "destroy" the nation?
