    Look at the flailing. It's "all hands on deck" mode for Trump supporters, because it only took him a week to have a nuclear meltdown.
    I like how the board liberals' only response to Obama's unpopularity is "b-b-but, Trump! The VRWC!"

    Eyup. Either candidate would have started off hobbled.

    Clinton is lucky in some regards that it wasn't her.

    As much as I dislike Trump I agree. I think Hillary may had been trending a few points higher, but not by much.

    I like how you're creating threads about Obama when he's no longer President. Don't you have more interesting things to talk about?


    Gotta get that deflection on.

    Trumpists deflecting his 44% approval rating. Historically ty for a POTUS in his first 100 days.
    How was Hillary's approval rating in her first 100 days? Oh that's right, she lost.

    She wouldn't be completely destroying her party's chances for the next 16 years in the first 8 days of her Presidency though. What do you think is going on in the war room of the GOP right now when Trump isn't there? There has to be borderline mass hysteria.

    It's the Political Forum and this is a recent political story. It's so "uninteresting" to you that you're here spinning and deflecting like mad.

    She already did that in November.

    You're obviously a newb down here, since you only joined our community Post-9 Nov. But "the polls" never claimed to predict the outcome of the election. That was left to the people you watch on TV to interpret "the polls".

    "the polls" predicted a Clinton victory in the national election. "they" were right.
    No, the pollsters by 98% predicted that Hillary would be POTUS.

    No one has ever been a laughingstock 8 days into their presidency. Even Hilldog would be comporting herself much better than this show.

    And?

    This is not a zero sum thing post election, dim. Her being a ty candidate doesn't change that Trump is having a historically bad start to his administration no matter how much you wave your hands.

    I also like how you are the 5th Trumpist to try this line of thinking in this thread alone. Nary an original thought between you.

    Yes, deflecting. When you read a thread about Obama's approval rating that has nothing to do with the current president and your response is "b-b-but, Trump," it's textbook deflection.

    The real laughingstock is the Democratic Party, which now holds their fewest seats in political office since Reconstruction. The Dems are such a disaster that I'm wondering if Jim Buss is secretly the new DNC chair.

    Actually the OP is textbook confirmation bias. The story highlights were:

    Only Truman, Ford, Carter had lower averages as president
    Final job approval rating of 59% among the highest for presidents
    Obama ratings avoided extreme highs, lows

    The actual le of the article was "Obama Averages 47.9% Job Approval as President"

    Compare and contrast with this le: "Trump Sets New Low Point for Inaugural Approval Rating"

    Given that Obama started in the 60s and Trump is already lower than his averages it is obvious why you would want to spin the article to deflect attention from how ty your boy is doing.

    Who gives a where Obama started? That doesn't change the fact that on average, he was one of our least popular presidents since WWII. And that was despite the entire national and international media coddling him and shielding him from any blame over the last eight years.

    Trump could have a 0% approval rating or an 100% rating and it still wouldn't be relevant to Obama's ratings. Truth is, you can't stand the fact that Obama wasn't very popular outside of your partisan bubble and are now grasping at anything to deflect. I won't even get into how dumb it is to compare Trump's rating after a week in office to Obama's average rating over eight years.

    Dim, Obama's approval rating was 59% as he left two weeks ago. Like I said, you left that part out.

    And I wasn't comparing his average to Obama's overall average. I like comparing apples to apples and Obama's start was over 15 higher than your boy.

    PS - I don't even like Obama. I just think he was better than the current stooge.

    ^sure, everyone was happy to see him leave!

    If he was that popular last year why couldn't his party beat a reality TV star who grabs pussies?

    "our ty offering doesn't excuse yours"

    I am not a Trumpist, or a Trumpette. You about the HNWIC but you couldn't muster enough support to do anything about it because no one gives a flying about your leftist agenda.

    Dimmer, his average across his whole presidency was one of the lowest since WWII. When he didn't have an election to hide behind and it was all on him to govern, his ratings were brutal.

    So what?

    In the context of the lowest opinion of government in modern times its not as bad as you want it to be. Doubly so when you consider that he was at 59% leaving office as he was being compared to his replacement.

    Meanwhile your GOP congress has been having the lowest approval ratings in polling history and your GOP president is doing the same.

    Honestly, I thought he did pretty good considering the country's general polarization, Congressional acrimony, and general un-eventfulness of his run (at least when it comes to big wars or attacks). I haven't particularly read the numbers, but I'm pretty sure Republicans probably gave him terrible numbers while Democrats the exact opposite.

    I expect more of the same to follow... barring some catastrophic incident that drives the current POTUS down or an national event (like a massive attack) that solidifies support behind him. A lot of the guys at the top of the list had them.
