Terrific: Obama approval hits second-term high of 55 percent
Canada Free Press ^ | 10/06/16 | Dan Calabrese

Alternate headline: A Democrat's best friend is people who aren't paying attention

The deficit is soaring. Economic growth is still sluggish. Syria is a disaster. ObamaCare is imploding. The Supreme Court just informed the president that, much to his dismay, he does have to enforce the nation’s immigration laws.

So how about that job the Barack Obama’s doing? What say you, America?

Oh . . . OK:

If true it implies a Clinton victory.

I cannot figure out the polls, half say trump is winning by 3~4, the other half say Hillary is winning by 5 to 6%

Sometimes the best action is to get a can of gas, some matches and a fiddle.

Perhaps people want to appear non-racist all over again, now that he’s leaving and there’s help on the way.

People "approve" of him because they are told the economy is getting better (it isn't) and none of his many failures are really reported on. Plus, trying to destroy Trump is taking up all of the oxygen.

Obama is basically doing nothing, so he looks better to people compared to the chaos of the election.

Also, a lot of people are stupid.

I think it has more to do with the fact that the media are not covering Obama at all. The less people hear from him the more they like him. I mean, seriously, they’re all out attacking Trump and barely even mentioning Hillary - no time for Obama.

...which scares the h*ll out of me, he could be up to anything.

i had the misfortune of being at a clients yesterday and CNN was on...they were literally saying everything that Rush talked about- Mike Pence did Donald Trump a disservice by kicking tim co-kaine’s butt so badly in the debate...

i thought Rush was talking about fringe lunatic left wing “news” outlets then i remembered- CNN is a fringe lunatic left “news” outlet so it made perfect sense..

It’s all about the sample used, just like presidential polls.

Say the sample is D+10, being that this is CNN, that wouldn’t be a stretch, then the the true numbers could have him underwater. CNN is elite leftist propaganda - in everything it does.

Since 2010, Obama has done nothing but play golf. His approval ratings are no more meaningful than mine.

I have a lot of trouble squaring 50%+ Obama approval numbers with consistent 65%+ supermajorities saying the country is on the wrong track.

People are loathe to trash an outgoing poor-performing black employee who is leaving on normal terms.

That what happens when you are never held accountable for anything and you are allowed to blame everyone else.
