We know how far off the pollsters were about Trump, Hillary, and the election outcome. They were predicting a landslide in Hillary's favor and still aren't sure what exactly happened.

What are the chances they are also wrong about Obama's approval rating?

It's also a factor that Obama is much more popular than his policies.

Good point.

People hate Obamacare and they aren't happy with the economy.....but seem to think Obama is a nice guy.

Eh, he's a likeable guy. I work with tons of folks who are awesome people but are professionally useless.
Plus he's black and it's forbidden to criticize blacks for any reason, so there's probably a tinge of noise in the data.

People are afraid to say anything against him. They will be labeled racist.

It's a known fact and it's been proven time and time again that the media is full of crap and they are all liars. For facts and proof please reference the 2016 presidential election where President Elect Donald J. Trump was elected. Pretty much every single poll had shitlary winning, or up in double digit leads constantly. Another bold faced lie by the media. They were only pushing their agenda and that of the democratic party.

When wikileaks dropped their first bomb a few months ago it was about the media being corrupt and colluding with the democrats. That was a shot across the bow for all of us to take note on how things were going to play out with the upcoming debates and election coverage. Another example is how shitlary was given the questions for one of the debates, that we know of. It's highly possible shitlary was given the questions for two of the 3 debates because I would be suspicious of someone accusing Fox of giving shitlary any questions pre-debate. The polls were pushed by the media and were all proven to be completely wrong, at least 90-95% of the time. Proof? shitlary was smoked like a cheap cigar on election day and the pollsters were left lying, again, and are now grasping every excuse they can think of.

In sum, ALL of the media is full of crap and ANY poll that has the muslim tranny, obama, with any approval rating above 50% is pure garbage.

I rarely believe any poll that is political but will not be falsifiable with an actual election.

They're not.

This poll is just proof that people are able to separate Obama the likable guy you would have a beer with from Obama the terrible President that completely destroyed his own party everywhere.

Do you think Trump's administration will start reporting the "real" numbers in February?

The answer is no, no he won't. The numbers are what they are. If you choose not to read into the full release that is your fault, but they're not bogus.

In 2012 people were actually discussing the methodology and the flaws with each UE metric, expecially when only one is official when each gives a different percent.

Now the argument is it's completely bogus.

Exactly. It's a favorability rating, likeablity will be a huge part of that.

And frankly, I think gridlock helped him. He couldn't implement harmful policies anymore e.g., Obamacare), so he became more effective since a less-meddling president is a better president.

It's the liberal progressive media propping up/promoting the first half black President. Their worst nightmare is for Obama's legacy to be tarnished so they overcompensate by inflating support to allow for any perceived negatives. Any tax payer knows Obamacare sucks and it is literally his signature legislation so his inflated popularity numbers make zero sense.
