Obama Crushes Trump By A Huge 24 Point Margin As Americans Long For Effective Leadership

[kpete]

President Trump's support among independent voters has eroded since he took office. Though he still clings to a loyal base of supporters, his overall disapproval among Americans has reached record highs, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll.


Just 17 Percent Of Americans Approve Of Republican Senate Health Care Bill

Just 37 percent of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing just over five months into his tenure, while 51 percent disapprove. Forty percent of those polled strongly disapprove of Trump's performance, twice the 20 percent who strongly approved.


...........

Americans also think Trump has hurt the country on the global stage. Fifty-eight percent say the president has weakened the United States' position abroad, while 34 percent say he has strengthened it.

***In addition, by a 24-point margin, Americans believe former President Obama was, by far, a more effective leader in comparison to Trump, 58 percent to 34 percent. Among independents, there's an even more pronounced 36-point difference, 65 to 29 percent.***

Parroting exactly what they've been told to think by the likes of Limpballs and hannity etc. Irredeemable, un-salvageable wastes of oxygen.

[Cha]

[BlancheSplanchnik]

Sigh! Finding out a friend who you liked is one---arghhh!

[Cha]

Good grief! Well, I guess if you want to be brainwashed and not think for yourself.. that's the way to go.

Aloha, Blanche!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

There's a movie I wanna see but I keep forgetting to look for it. "The Brainwashing of My Dad"

❤️

[ailsagirl]

24. Thank you!

I'll read that over the weekend

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. 😌 you're welcome!

It was also good to know that President O is currently working on fighting gerrymandering. That lifted my spirits a lot!

[ailsagirl]

28. My spirits need lifting, too

Do they EVER!

[Tarheel_Dem]

5. He's an embarrassment to us all. Please come back President Obama.

[pangaia]

8. Well, to be fair to dumpster, Obama had 8 years.

Dumpster has only had, what, 5 months. It's early yet. Give him a chance to show what he can do.

[hurple]

9. Oh, geez

Get ready for the anti-Obama twitter storm... Category 5!

He'll be spewing that Obama was responsible for the Holocaust and the Crucifixion of christ before he's done.

[Initech]

11. The failing @NPR, low ratings and all - just reported that Obama has higher approval ratings than T.

[Alice11111]

17. Can't someone else piss him off more than Obama. Vicente

Fox sure tries, and he is clever.

[Javaman]

12. there should be a national poll taken asking...

if there was a forced new election who would you vote for now?

Hillary

or

the groper

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. DOH!!!!! Is it any wonder why??????

President Obama is and always will be the ADULT in the room wherever he goes. He will be greeted by HUGE crowds of people who still respect and admire him.He will be in high demand for speeches.

Donald Trump on the other hand, is a National and world-wide embarrassment. He will never aspire to the level President Obama has reached, nor will history be kind to Trump.

[Volaris]

16. Hard to hobnob with the other former presidents at events when you're in your cell at levenworth

[Cha]

14. KICK

[rpannier]

15. So 34% of the country is dumb as stones?

No... Stones are smarter

Jon Voight, James Woods, Tim Allen and Kelsey Grammer are dumber than air

[MrPurple]

23. I don't understand how James Woods is the same person that did a scathing portrayal of Roy Cohn

I'd think he'd have to understand what was despicable about him to have played him so well. Yet Cohn was Trump's mentor and he uses the same tactics and Woods is totally on board. Woods is one of the most ridiculous right wing Twitter trolls around.

[Achilleaze]

26. the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is a loser

a total loser. Why republicans embrace him as their family-values role model decent folk will never comprehend.

[mdbl]

27. who the hell are the 34%? Do they have their heads up their asses?

just askin'.

[BigmanPigman]

31. They are Fux News viewers, so "yes" they do have their heads up their asses.

They believe the "fake" BS hook, line and sinker. They also love his bully/thuggish personality because they are also bullies and thugs in a way.

[SusanaMontana41]

32. That's nice, but kind of pointless.

It isn't as if President Obama can run again.

Or maybe I misunderstood.
