Polls have Obama's "Popularity" or "Approval Rating" at around 52%. I wonder if they use the same polling methodology that had Trump down 8 to 10 points before he won the election?
In other words, are people telling pollsters "Yeah, I like him" just to avoid being labeled a "racist?"

Re the Russians: According to Obaminable there doesn't need to be a "report" left on the desk for Trump and there doesn't need to be one of those pesky Congressional "Select Committee" Investigation with all those aggravating HEARINGS on the question of Russian Cyber interference, SINCE HE HAS DECIDED!
He's not only shit on the Democrats as an organization, he has shit all over the political face of the Minority Leader of the upcoming Senate and his former Secretary of State who just got her ass kicked in the General Elections with BOTH DECISIONS.
I can hear it now from President Trump by February 1st 2017:
"After a careful review of ALL OF THE INTELLIGENCE that was available in December 2016 and additional INTELLIGENCE just reviewed by me, which is not available to the former POTUS and cannot be released to him because he no longer has the credentials to see it, and cannot be released to the General Public (as the former POTUS said) to avoid disclosure of methods and technics and pesonnel), I have come to the conclusion that the former POTUS was premature and uninformed when he made the decision to sanction the Russians in December 2017 when he was a Lame Duck President and like so many of his other decisions, both domestically and internationally, his ignorance and haste resulted in bad decisions and bad policy. As a consequence I making the following decisions along with the others I have had to make for the purpose of correcting those wrongs before they do further damage to the Country and the citizens and residents of this Country: Reverse the decision to Sanction Russia IMMEDIATELY and support Israel 100% regarding her interest in self-protection, seeking recognition as a State, and engaging in activities consistent with the history and culture upon which those activities are based. We will continue to work diligently, fairly, and respectfully in the process to arrive at a peaceful resolution of all the conflicts in the Middle East, including, but not limited to the Israeli-Palestinian disputes, but will not tolerate the initiation of force against other people to secure concessions in agreements or acquire rights that have no basis in history and/or culture."
