14. Not an Obama perhaps... but I wouldn't rule out a Clinton

Not talking about Hillary jumping in at the last moment... just saying that we shouldn’t look at Bill Clinton through the lens of hindsight. He wasn’t considered as such a great option as the primary season began.

He finished 4th in Iowa with 2% of the vote.

Yes, he probably will get re-elected. At least he has the stain of impeachment in the history books helpisontheway Feb 2020 #12

It's not any newer than a bunch of "new" polls, with an overall approval of 43.5, according to 538. pnwmom Feb 2020 #15

538 is a trailing measure, but it's heading up Recursion Feb 2020 #17

No, it's not. The Gallup poll you posted is included among the ones they reported. pnwmom Feb 2020 #19

Yes, and? Recursion Feb 2020 #33

There hasn't been an uptick. Several polls conducted in days AFTER this one pnwmom Feb 2020 #45

Sure... much better to do nothing and give him a de facto stamp of approval. JHB Feb 2020 #22

I mean, yes. That would be better than the bump he's going to get after the acquittal Recursion Feb 2020 #28
