37. Yes! President Obama

Sun Feb 25, 2018, 06:30 PM

Feb 2018

should always be included in polls for politicians whether he's in Office of not.

And, we can see by the poll that so many people miss him. Obama left office with high approval ratings and it hasn't diminished.

Mahalo for your OP, lapucelle!

Funny what happens when you include Obama on the list. lapucelle Feb 2018 #6
