Bush over Obama. Poll by CNN....

https://www.yahoo.com/politics/more-...609395871.html

More Americans have a favorable view of former President George W. Bush than of President Barack Obama, a new CNN/ORC poll finds.

According to the results of the survey, released Wednesday, 52 percent hold a favorable view of Bush, while 43 percent view the former president unfavorably — the first time in more than a decade that a majority of Americans viewed Bush favorably. The same poll, conducted in April 2005, at the beginning of his second term, found 54 percent held a favorable view of Bush, compared to 45 percent unfavorable.

Like Bush, Obama has seen his favorability fall during his second term. Following the 2012 election, 56 percent viewed Obama favorably versus 41 percent unfavorably. In the latest poll, Americans are split on Obama, with 49 percent holding a favorable view and 49 percent viewing him unfavorably.

In January 2009, when Bush left office, just 33 percent of Americans viewed him favorably compared to 63 percent who held him in an unfavorable light.

Among living presidents, George W. Bush and Obama trail Jimmy Carter (56 percent), George H. W. Bush (64 percent) and Bill Clinton (64 percent) in terms of favorability.

Both Clinton and George W. Bush are back in the headlines as a potential — some say inevitable — matchup between Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush in the 2016 presidential race looms.

It’s unclear what role, if any, either ex-president will play in his respective family member’s campaign. But another poll, conducted by Bloomberg Politics and the Des Moines Register, suggests some would like to see both involved in their theoretical administrations — at least in Iowa.

According to that poll, also released Wednesday, 83 percent of likely Democratic caucus-goers approved of the idea of Hillary Clinton using her husband, Bill, as a close adviser. (Just 9 percent said it was a “mostly bad” idea.)

And 57 percent of likely Republican caucus-goers supported the idea of George W. Bush playing the role of close adviser in a Jeb Bush presidency, while 33 percent called the idea “mostly bad.”

In due time; Obama will fall even farther down the list.....he is certain to become America's worse president. Worse than Jimmy Carter.

By the time our national nightmare is behind us; we will have wasted a decade and done irreparable harm to our future.

Well, George W. Bush was no prize, and of course Obama is nothing but a puppet brought to us by the CIA and Wall Street. The polls don't mean much to me. I will say this though, we need to watch out for Jeb, he's not what you might think. Hillary Clinton is also more dangerous than many people realize. If you look back to the early 80's when George H. Bush was VP and Bill Clinton was Governor of Arkansas you'll understand. These two families watch each other's back, believe me.

You numbnuts do realize that neither are running for President ever again!

True. But Obama's disapproval numbers are bound to bleed into Hillary's approval/disapproval ratings, particularly on foreign policy issues which she was a major player as SOS.

McCain was hurt by Bush's low approval rating; the country was tired of a failed Bush and his disastrous policies. Apply the same thinking to Hillary.

Approve/Disapprove
SIS 32%/63%
Foreign affairs 43%/55%
Terrorism 45%/51%

BTW, the same CNN poll was equally bad for Hillary. The poll showed Mrs. Clinton with a negative 46%/50% overall approval rating.

Going forward, is there the enthusiasm for Hillary that there was for Obama? I don't think so. And maybe not enough for her to carry the day.

Lets hope that's the case. As Obama goes down lets hope he brings that cunt down with him. I would hate to see a Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton show down. I would vote against either one. I would like to have a choice. The very last thing this country needs is another Bush or Clinton in the White House.


Jim

The other part of the poll is about 10% of the people are still out on Bush but nearly everyone has figured out Obama. (or you're an Obamaton)

shit. That tears it. I'm not voting for him again!

Bush had to fight the media. Obama mostly don't. I'm not saying Bush was always right, as he wasn't. Hillary won't have near the media pushback McCain had with comments of a Bush 3rd term etc... Fox News and talk radio are the only ones. And what the liberals refuse to acknowledge is that on Fox News they always have a D to rebuff the R argument. They certainly get their say.

Well, George W. Bush was no prize, and of course Obama is nothing but a puppet brought to us by the CIA and Wall Street, and the SCUMBAG GEORGE SOROS. The polls don't mean much to me.

To be fair Fox is also biased, but it doesn't seem as blatant as CNN, but that could be due to the fact that we were under Dem super majority for a while and still under a Dem president. It is funny that most liberals rag on Fox and think MSNBC and CNN are unbiased, they are comically biased.

More than likely due to the preconceived notion of "liberals" that they have the "correct" view of the world, which would "naturally mean" that MSNBC and CNN are just opining accurately when organize a panel of pundits to explain what Their King 'REALLY MEANT" to say when he was reading teleprompters.
