Sorry dude , but YUGE fail on your part . If averages counted for anything more than a talking point for a poster upset that the POTUS many conserves hate with an unreasoning hate is well liked by a majority of Americans at the end of 2 terms, then Bush 41 would have easily won a second term .
Obama leaves at 55% approval rating. To put some perspective to this number ,that is 3 points higher than the average two term POTUS leaves office at, and Obama leaves office with his approval closer to the approval rating of that modern GOP hero Reagan, at 63 to 55, than the last GOP POTUS is to Obama , at 55 to 34 for GWB .
The premise of your thread is laughable .
It doesn't matter, the average for his WHOLE presidency is lower than average. Keep up with that spinning though!
Obamas numbers are not rising drastically . They have been on a slow steady rise. Contrary to right wing hatred of Obamacare, some people have benefited from it , even some Trump supporters have the honesty to admit that. And as I said, a years comparison between Obama and the two choices we were given this past year to replace him can't help but make people like Obama a little more .
And I have never mentioned Trumps numbers, so you need to learn to read a little better .
Has to be the same source that had Hillary with 270 EC votes a month before the election and Donald only having a 4% chance of winning the presidency.
I believe the vast majority of the nation is very excited for a Trump presidency and are glad to see the failure Obama go away.
I also believed the polls were false (which they were) before the election and I accurately predicted a convincing win for Trump on this site as the polls are flawed.
So you can take your popularity polls that you think are real and file them somewhere.

You keep thinking averages matter while you try and explain why GB41 was a one termer.
Do you not understand math well enough to grasp how a temporary spike to 90% on patriotic zeal affects the average? Or that patriotic zeal and emotion in response to going to war isn't truly indicative of a POTUS performance?
Of course you don't, as that would require some actual thought on your part .

LOL , kiddo , but Im not the one who started a thread about poll numbers that blew up in his face.
Again, learn to read.Its not my name in the OP. It was one of your compadres bringing up polls . We are just pointing out the fallacies in his logic concerning the polls HE referenced .
You know what? If it was 2007, Trump wouldn't even run. He would be out scooping up all the real estate he could fit in his tiny little hands, picking up foreclosures as they fell and shoving people aside.
Where was he when America was in the giant ditch Bush and Cheney left it in? Why wasn't Trump clamoring to Make America Great Again when it actually needed it? Too hard? Too much easy money laying around to be bothered? Give me a break.
Obama picked up the pieces of trash left by the previous admin and cleaned it up. Now that the country is doing much much better than in 2007--good economy, good stock market, good housing market, low unemployment---NOW Trump comes along to make America 'great' again. Obama gave him a huge step up. Now Trump will take credit for everything positive Obama set in motion and blame him for anything he does wrong, because that is the way Trump rolls.
Trump has neveronce taken responsibility for mistakes he has made or anything he's done wrong, as he left Atlantic City in ruins and has stuck other people with his bills. He's will leave this office the same way he's left everything else--at a low point. Even his ratings for this stupid show sank to nothing by the time he walked away.
Obama: 48.0
Bush (G.W.): 49.4
Clinton: 55.1
Bush (G.H.W.): 60.9
Reagan: 52.8
Carter: 45.5
Ford: 47.2
Nixon: 49.1
Johnson: 55.1
Kennedy: 70.1
Eisenhower: 65.0
Truman: 45.4
F. Roosevelt: 63
So for all those who think Obama will be remembered in history as "one of the greatest presidents" the approval rating average says otherwise. Its even lower than the "unpopular" George W. Bush!
Polling.... If it is like the last election polling deal, of wrapping fantasy around reality, they were being rather nice to Obama.
