Obama's approval rating
I'm always still in trouble again
"You're by far the worst poster on TWeb" and "TWeb's biggest liar" --starlight (the guy who says Stalin was a right-winger)
"Overall I would rate the withdrawal from Afghanistan as by far the best thing Biden's done" --Starlight
"Of course, human life begins at fertilization that’s not the argument." --TassmanTags: None

I think what makes Obama's numbers hard to evaluate sometimes is that many people disagree with him on his policies, but like him personally, and you can't really express disagreement with him without being accused of being racist.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Obama doesn't do all that great in the ratings because the country is deeply divided and the conservatives would disapprove of him because he's a dem, not because he does anything bad. That said, as a liberal/progressive/leftist I don't like Obama because he's a corrupt sell-out who hasn't pushed liberal and leftist policies remotely hard enough. He didn't seriously try to bring the hope and change he campaigned on. And because I actually have underlying principles (i.e. genuine support for liberal and leftist ideas) and don't just cheer for a team, I can be critical of the dems and Obama for their failures... unlike some conservatives here who just seem to cheer for Republicans for the sake of it."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

I'm surprised to see HW Bush ranked so highly when he easily lost to Clinton, and Reagan ranked so low even though both of his wins are among the most lopsided in American history.
Eh... it's so hard to tell what opinion polls are really saying because they're an inexact science, if they can even be considered a science at all.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man
Than a fool in the eyes of God
