Obama’s Approval Rating Hits 7-Year High




September 12, 2016 2016 Election, News, Politics

Good news for Hillary. The Washington Post reports:

The last time that President Obama’s approval rating in Washington Post-ABC News polling was as high as it is in our new survey was six months after he took office. At 58 percent, Obama’s approval is 15 points higher than it was on the eve of the 2014 elections, where his party got blown out. Hillary Clinton’s hope is that the reversal of opinions on Obama two years later will also lead to a reversal of fortunes for other Democrats — and there’s reason to think that it will.
The biggest negative gap for Obama is among those who voted for Donald Trump in the primary or who support him now. Slightly less disapproving are those who voted for someone besides Trump in the primary. How white voters break down by education and gender closely mirrors the overall polling: White men without college degrees are likely to disapprove of Obama by a much wider margin than white women without degrees, who are more likely to disapprove of him than men with degrees. (That group is split between Clinton and Trump in the new poll.) White women with college degrees are the most likely among white voters to approve of Obama, but the biggest fans of Obama’s performance are Hispanic and black voters and backers of Clinton in the primary and general elections.

I'm trying to figure out what you point is...apparently you don't have one-not to mention, I would not trust you anything you post. Case in point: why do several of the columns add up to MORE than 100%?

Uhhh, Gallup and Rassmussen were both hilariously wrong in the 2012 election, nitwit, and are well known for their GOP bias. Btw, what was the approval rating of "W" at this point in his Presidency? A bit below 50%, I reckon, lol. What's the source for your so-called poll, btw?

Hmm, I specifically mentioned those two idiot pollsters to say, when even THEY say that the majority of Americans approve of Obama's results, you KNOW it's bad, and it shows that the fucking morons who insist that he is not popular-many of whom infest the rx-are liars, morons, or both. So, once again, you're a moron. And, again, where did you get YOUR supposed poll? Why do many of the 3 columns for a poll add up to more than 100%? Doctored figures, maybe? Meanwhile, more evidence-as if more were needed-that you are in for the buggering of a lifetime, Jeeves...






NEDSPARKS

​

Last month during the alarming images of rising water levels in the streets of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, due to a surprising and historic flooding, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate Mike Pence raced to Baton Rouge in order to promote an eager media narrative that he was more concerned about the citizens of Baton Rouge than President Barack Obama who, Republicans would have you believe, was neglectful of the people of Baton Rouge by remaining on his vacation as flood waters damaged homes.
What Republicans and their allies in the media failed to specifically disclose, however, was that the President had asked Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards for an appropriate time for a presidential visit and it was requested by the governor that hewaited:

EDWARDS: But I’ve been talk (ph) — the White House asked me — in fact, the president and Valerie Jarrett asked me when would be a good time for a visit. I asked them to let us get out of the response mode where we were still conducting searches of houses, and we were still making rescues. I didn’t want to divert these police officers, sheriff’s deputies and state troopers and other essential resources and assets to providing security for the president while they were needed in this region to undergo those — or to undertake those response activities. And I asked that if he could wait until the response was over and we got into the recovery phase, which I predicted we would do over the weekend and certainly next week would be a better time for us to visit.
​

This was an inconvenient fact for the media, which employed a nifty device for criticizing the President known as “OPTICS”. The fact that the President was diligent in his efforts to provide federal assistance, and swift in his deployment of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), which has received praise by Louisiana officials, was of little importance. Here, the liberty to criticize based on the tactic of “OPTICS” took precedence over the assessment of effective crisis management.
This criticism of the President was of tremendous value to Republicans, who have always been in search of that elusive catastrophe known as the "Obama Katrina".
The President’s approval rating has been polling above 50 percent for some time now and Republicans have been eager to bring down his popularity with the public. They have been trying desperately through their trumpeting of the “Obama paying Iran money for hostages” canard, which induced Republican political analyst Mark Halperin to declare:

The significance of this for the presidential race is Republicans have to get President Obama’s approval ratings down. They have to. And this is one of the things they’re going to talk about to try to bring that about.
​

Well, despite manufactured controversies and blatantly mendacious declarations from Republicans such as RNC chair Reince Priebus, who has repeatedly said:

We're paying the price for Obama's failed, liberal policies.
​

The Republican propaganda machine is failing and they are in deep trouble. I would have been more than delighted to see the President’s approval rating holding steady at 50 percent in current polls, but the latest Washington Post poll hints at greater possibilities:

[T]he Post-ABC poll finds 58 percent of Americans overall approve of President Obama’s job performance, the highest since July 2009 and continuing the positive movement since December when he stood at 45 percent.
​

Judging by some of their respondents’ over the top analysis of his time in office, it should be noted that individuals who register disfavor with the President are among the most extreme subset of anti-Obama voters, which also bodes well for the President and November:

Underscoring the passionate negative views that voters have of the candidate they oppose this year, nearly 8 in 10 Americans who disapprove of Obama say he has done real damage to the country.
The Post-ABC poll was conducted Sept. 5-8 among a random national sample of 1,002 adults reached by cellular and landline phones.
​

Emphasis on respondents’ idiotic statement by diarist.
There is also this from CNN:

In a reflection of rising optimism, 53% of Americans say economic conditions in the US are good, up from the 45% who felt that way in June. It's the highest number since September 2007, before the 2008 economic collapse.The poll also showed that President Barack Obama continues to have majority approval ratings, at 51%. His approval rating has been at or above 50% since February, the longest stretch of his presidency since his first year in office.
​

Despite years of proclaiming Barack Obama a failure, the latest spate of opinion polls on the President’s popularity is proving that the lying narrative of the Republican Party is being soundly rejected by the nation. From all appearances thus far, they are facing dire prospects.
