Which polls tell us that “Obama is widely popular?” The same ones that predicted a Hillary landslide?
Yes, the same ill-informed polls.
Remember that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania always made it clear that he was president to only the democrats not of all Americans regardless of color. If you were white or black and a Republican or conservative he did not consider you as his constituent.
President elect Donald Trump on the other hand wants to be president of all Americans, regardless of color, religion or party affiliation, and if those snowflakes can't get over it, they can just jump off a bridge for all I care.
To some degree, he was popular in the '90s, because the economy seemed good at the time (although it turned out we were living in a bubble, which crashed just in time for the GW Bush election).
And despite ominous forewarnings of 9/11, Clinton managed to maintain the illusion that we were unthreatened. (He may have done this by covering up evidence from TWA 800 and Oklahoma City.)
But the media seem to have forgotten that BJ Clinton lost a lot of popularity after his Marc Rich pardon, and following reports that the Clintons had stolen artwork and furniture from the White House.
What is BJ Clinton's popularity rating today - anyone know?
In a just world, it should be about the same as Bill Cosby's.
