View Full Version : Obama's approval rating is at its highest point in years
In a Washington Post poll released over the weekend, the president's approval rating hit an astounding 58%. That is 15 points higher than it was in a Post poll from right before the 2014 midterm elections. And it's the highest level since he hit that point six months into his presidency.
"He is the most popular Democrat in the country, and as his term comes toward an end, the intensity of love for him only grows," said Steve Schale, a former Obama campaign state director. "'Elect Hillary to protect President Obama's legacy' is a very powerful message for Democrats."
The threshold might seem arbitrary. But historical precedent suggests it could bode well for Clinton, Obama's former secretary of state.
Early this year, Obama's approval rating hit 50% in the weekly average from Gallup's daily survey. As of Tuesday, it stands at 51%. For Obama, whose approval ratings have been stuck in the low to mid-40s for much of his second term, it was a notable bump.

The idea is that his approval rating being at its highest means problems for Trump

Obama is indicted in the latest email links. He appointed pay-to-play ambassadors and covered for Hillary's corruption on several occassions.
The true Obama fans have not forgotten how he truly feels about Hillary.

Not complicated, you put anything next to a pile of shit and it's going to look a lot better. People need a living hero to look up to. Bill Clinton's favorability rating has been going down the last few years. Hillary Clinton is a joke, even to the left. As bad as Obama is, he doesn't have these huge glaring personal flaws like the Clintons do, so compared side by side with them, he looks pretty damn good.

I really, really, really, do not think that helps Clinton. :oldlol:
“I think Hillary can’t believe she might not make it,” Leeds wrote to Powell in March 2015. “It’s the one prize she wants. She has everything else.”
Leeds went on to say that the 2008 Democratic primary left Clinton and Obama bitter rivals.
“And she HATES that the President (‘that man,’ as the Clintons call him) kicked her ass in 2008,” he wrote. “She can’t believe it or accept it.”
Leeds also wrote that Hillary’s State Department email scandal might wreck her campaign — and that Obama wouldn’t mind watching her burn for it.
“No one likes her and the criminal thing ain’t over,” Leeds wrote in another email.
“I don’t think the president would weep if she found herself in real legal trouble. She’ll pummel his legacy if she gets a chance and he knows it.”

Got bigger fish to fry at the moment. We are more worried about that she-demon you are trying to make the world's most powerful person.

Not to mention it is widely known that the Clintons hate Obama and Obama hates them back.
Obama did the job for her at the DNC and is now doing the job for her as a gesture of good will to his party, but everyone who is a true Obama fan knows what he really thinks about Hillary.
The Dems Remember.

If Hillary loses, and the DOJ goes after her, Hillary is going to do everything she can to drag Obama down with her.
Obama is aware of this.
He doesn't want his legacy destroyed by this corrupt witch who he never wanted around in the first place.

If you live in a shitty, run down, one bedroom house... and were forced to move into either a cave in the woods or a hole in the mud...
You'd really start to appreciate that one bedroom house.
