The Roles Have Been Reversed for George W. Bush & Obama — Check Out Which One is Now More…
By Katie LaPotin (24 hours ago)
For the first time, more Americans have a favorable opinion of former President George W. Bush than they do of President Obama.
According to the results of a CNN/ORC International poll released Wednesday, 52 percent of Americans think positively about the nation’s 43rd Commander-in-Chief, compared to just 49 percent who approve of Obama.
It is also the first time Bush’s approval has topped 50 percent since February 2005, shortly after he was sworn into office for a second term. Bush’s approval rating has been slowly rebounding since reaching its low point during the summer of 2009.
The improvement in his approval rating might also be a boon for Bush’s younger brother, Jeb, as he prepares to follow in the family footsteps and run for President. Their father, former President George H.W. Bush, has also seen his approval rating increase over the last year, jumping 6 points to 64 percent.
But not all of the poll’s findings are beneficial to this year’s crop of presidential candidates. Former President Bill Clinton’s approval rating appears to have taken a downward turn over the past few months, a potential consequence of his foundation’s suspicious finances and issues surrounding Hillary Clinton and her own presidential campaign.
Americans are also deeply disappointed in how Obama has handled two key policy areas, as two in three people disagree with how he’s handled the war against ISIS and government surveillance of U.S. citizens.
But....just when your faith in the American people begins to be restored, they had to spoil it with the following. How in he...........?
The only area in which the American people approve of the President’s policies was race relations.
I guess they have to actually smell the smoke of their own cities burning before they realize what is taking place on that front.
CNN/ORC International conducted a random telephone study of 1,025 adult Americans nationwide from May 25-31, 2015. The margin of error for the study is +/- 3 percent.
