Maybe they will be, but the one survey that I've seen to suggest this was way too flawed to determine this. They could only indirectly measure the views of like 15 year olds and the issue that led to that was gay marriage, which is probably not the most accurate thing to measure with pubescsent teens.

He just left office 4 months ago. I don't see the issue with discussing the problems he left behind.





Not only that, but Obama is still making news.


YUUUGE news.

No, given that the statement was a response to quote stating it was almost impossible to find an Obama supporter popularity goes to the heart of the issue at hand.

Even from the perspective of successfully conditioned products of Frankfurt School/Tavistock Institute methods by acolytes in academia, media and gov't programs over these many years, his stint was a disappointment.

They expected a much more effective assault on and undermining of this remaining bastion of Western Culture. That's why they were so counting on Hillary to achieve the elusive final synthesis. And why the abject hysteria reached such never before seen levels. But they'll keep trying.

Right. So if you ignore polls, votes, the being mobbed by crowds of cheering supporters wherever he goes (in contrast to handpicked rallies) and the states where the majority of Americans live then Obama isn't popular.

You don't think Obama only goes where he's liked?

To be fair Gay Marriage isn't really a left/right issue anymore, its like asking kids if they approve of desegregation support is basically universal across the political spectrum for everyone under say 45

For 6 years after Bush was out of office Obama blamed him. 3 Months after Obama is out and you are ready for people to walk away and forget his legacy?

Can't say I blame you, actually.

So essentially there is no amount of proof that will show you that the statement about it being hard to find any Obama supporters is false?

Because it's really hard to find any credible source that would argue with the contention that he's the most widely respected and admired living American President.

Wrong. Show me a quantitative data set with a strong correlation coefficient, and I will concede facts which point to truth.

That's because there aren't any.

Correlation with what? This seems like a request for unnecessary data when the descriptive data from the survey is exactly what we need.

Here are 13 polls of Obama’s job approval his last few weeks in office from liberal, conservative and non-partisan pollsters: His approval ranges from 54 to 62 and every single poll has a split of at least +12

What was Obama's approval ratings on his last day in office?


I support whomever is our current President. I want each President to be successful. Everyone defines "success" differently of course. I want our country in better shape when a President leaves office than when the President took office.

Success, as I define it, is...

Improvement for most citizens to some degree through sound leadership and policy (economic, social, etc).
Workable political climate through the President's leadership.
Strong political and economic position internationally.
Leadership and realistic optimism to the citizens; that is, he communicates with us and takes quick actions to deal with problems.

To me, Bush sucked and Obama sucked worse. We will see what happens with Trump.
Clinton was smarter than most think and so was Bush I. I loved Reagan.

However, I do not give a shite about approval polls. They do not show results. They do not even imply results; only likeability
