Obama Is Now More Unpopular Than Ever

[DigitalDrifter]

Ouch ! Poor Obama.

President Barack Obama is viewed more negatively now than at any point in his presidential term, according to a new survey from Gallup.

Just 47% of respondents said they view Obama favorably, compared with 52% who indicated they have an unfavorable opinion of Obama. The gap of 5 percentage points accounts for the worst split of his time in office.

Though his approval ratings have fluctuated significantly throughout his presidency, Obama has generally maintained a positive personal image with the American public. The previous high level of respondents who said they viewed him negatively in a Gallup poll was 50% in late 2010.

In recent weeks, the Obama administration has faced fire over the scandal at the Department of Veterans Affairs and its prisoner swap that freed U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five Taliban-affiliated troops who were being held at the Guantanamo Bay prison.

Interestingly, while Obama's favorability ratings have gone down his approval ratings have largely held steady — and they have even risen over the past month, according to Gallup's daily tracking poll. Favorability measures how respondents view Obama as a person while the approval rating measures peoples' assessment of the job he's doing. Gallup's Jeffrey M. Jones speculated an improving economy may be bolstering his approval ratings, while the scandals take a toll on his personal image.

Yeah, but Barry's golf game and jumpshot have improved dramatically. And he very rarely finds the need to speak in Negro dialect on either the course or gym floor.

Better late than never I guess.
Of course, I'm certain there's another poll just around the corner, that will show his popularity increasing.

When you take into effect the mainstream media still supporting the administration or not covering issues that tend to be embarrassing to the administration or covering the many scandals in depth it's amazing that more than half of Americans still have a negative opinion of the administration. Imagine what it would be like if the media was honest or outwardly hostile to the administration as was the case during Nixon and Bush. .

There's no question that overall the Dim will always have a friendly press/media.
If your typical reporter or editorialist were conservative, imagine what the constant drumbeat would be regarding just the border crisis right now alone.
We have illegal children pouring into the US completely due to Obama's policies regarding deportation, and all's the media is doing is simply brushing over the issue.

It might come to that. A Warren/Michelle ticket wins. Michelle resigns. Obama is appointed. Warren resigns. Bingo, third Obama term.

Nah.

Anyway, it's a moot point. By 2016 the Dems will be so discredited they could run George Washington and still lose.
