WASHINGTON (CNN) As the political world's focus begins to turn to the race to succeed President Barack Obama, a new CNN/ORC poll finds Americans are split over whether Obama's time in office has been a success. But they are now more likely than at any point during his tenure to say things in the country are going well.
In February 2009, shortly after Obama took office, 21% of Americans said things in the country were going well, 79% that they were going badly.
The new poll finds 53% saying things are going well, 46% badly. That's the highest share saying things are going well that CNN/ORC polls have found during Obama's time in office, though it is not significantly higher than the 52% saying things were going well in November.
The rising optimism about how the country is doing comes after several months of strong economic news. The current unemployment rate of 5.5% is the lowest of his presidency, and although average gas prices -- often closely tied with public perceptions of the economy -- are slightly higher than they were a few months ago, they remain lower than they were a year ago.
Assessing Obama's presidency overall, 50% consider his time in office a success, 47% a failure. And for those who say his time in office has been a failure, 37% say that's been because of his own actions, while just 9% attribute it to Congress blocking the President from action.
Perceptions of the success of Obama's presidency after six years in office falls in between ratings of his two immediate predecessors. Just 39% said they considered George W. Bush's presidency a success in January 2007, 55% considered it a failure. Bill Clinton, by contrast, was broadly deemed successful,

CNN’s polls are becoming irrelevant
The retarded idiots being polled voted for the boy, of course those losers are going to say he’s been a success. Besides, they’ve got their food stamps, disability checks, Obama “foams”, it just don’t get any better. Life is good when you’re a retarded liberal.
This is the same CNN/ORC poll that says Hillary is double-digits ahead of every GOP contender.
CNN is notorious for conducting polls of no quantifiable measurement of political ideologies, party affiliation, etc., to push a narrative. Since this was nothing more than random sampling of “adults,” it has all the validity of an unscientific online point-and-click poll.
What’s a CNN?
He promised he would fundamentally transform America and has been wildly successful. He made it so much worse.
Remember the Caliph actually won re-election with $4 gas, 8% unemployment (13% real), trillion dollar deficits, surging food prices, and totally failed foreign policy.
So I find this poll very believable.
Fake Poll by the propagandist at CNN...
Whatever, they say is good divide it by 2.5 or 3 times to get the real number.
Whenever, they say is not bad multiply is by 2.5 or 3 times to get the real number.
So the real numbers on this poll is probably between 17 and 20% on the high end.
Let’s say 18.5 or 19% think he’s doing a great job.
That means 81% think he is not doing a great job.
Oh come on!! What BS this is! Who believes this crap? /rhetorical
