The Hill ^ | March 23, 2015 | Judy Kurtz

Americans prefer the fictional commanders-in-chief found on television — even the corrupt or conniving ones such as “House of Cards’” Frank Underwood and “Scandal’s” Fitzgerald Grant — to President Obama, according to a new poll.

A Reuters-Ipsos survey conducted this month finds while only 46 percent of those polled around the country have a favorable opinion of President Obama, a whopping 82 percent gave a positive rating to “The West Wing’s” President Josiah Barlet, played on the NBC show by Martin Sheen, and 89 percent approved of the job President David Palmer, played by Dennis Haysbert, did on Fox’s “24.”

he fact that the Inside the Beltway types love this show for indicates what a cess pool "This Town" has become. Someone described DC as Hollywood for ugly people.

The show got old to me after 6 or 7 episodes. There’s enough ugly political crap going on in real life. The same for entertainment? No thanks.

HoC is a very good Netflix series. Any comparison between Underwood and Obama is ludicrous.

“More popular than Obama” should be a very long list. I prefer Ebola. I also preferred Obama’s ideological brother, Osama. Bin Laden was much less dangerous to the United States as a free country than his successor in our White House.
