That's a much better place for the incumbent party to be.

Is RIGHT

Extremely happy to see approval numbers like these this deep into President Obama's presidency.

Especially once he's actively involved in campaigning for Hillary and other Dems.

to his DISapproval ratings all this time. Good news, all right. Most people really don't hate him! Must have the GOP leadership tearing their hair.



Thanks, JaneyVee.

just how amazing he actually is. Although I am very confident in Hillary's abilities, I am overwhelmed with sadness to be losing Obama.

Like you, I am confident about Hillary's abilities, but I just don't feel that same level of excitement I felt 8 and even 4 years ago. January 20, 2017 is going to be a very sad day for me.

Certainly Obama could've accomplished so much more if not for Republicans in Congress, and if Senate Dems had fought harder to support him during his first term, but what's he's accomplished even with those obstacles has been damned good.

Yet Republicans still convince themselves via their Fox News bubble that President Obama is widely hated.
