Voters Believe Obama Is A Better President Than Trump By Nearly 20 points

People overwhelmingly disapprove of how Trump handles his cabinet officials (30%/55%), his relationship with Republicans in Congress (30%-48%), and 54% of those who disapproved of Trump did so because of his personality and leadership qualities.

(16,646 posts)I was grousing the other day to a RWNJ that Trump seemed to have amazing trouble understanding the basics of governing. Their honest reply was "well, they can't all be Obama".
Even the RWNJ's know Obama was smarter.

Makes me wonder how many Germans still believed in Hitler on, say, VE Day.

(10,303 posts)Some Americans will judge a person by the content of their character. Fortunately it is a majority of Americans. We got some work to do.... There are Americans who still judge by skin colour. Or blindly stuck to party loyalty. Though it could be argued that some overlap.
Yep. A lot of us miss Barack Obama. He resembles what family values truly are and not that phoney Republican version.

(11,530 posts)It's always been a working assumption that about 1/3 of the country is hardcore repub, this number is pretty close to that. To the point of that 1/3 of the country though, yes, it's hard to believe they're that blind.

(14,027 posts)compartmentalized, that 1/3 only watch FOX, and listen to r/w hate radio viewpoints on news. The vile and bile in that swamp is (still) particularly putrid and racist towards President Obama, and anyone even vaguely associated with him.

(13,436 posts)I guess both Dems and Repubs have polar opposite views of the two and those views are static. Independents break for Obama but some of them still do not realize how much of a fuck up 45 is.

(575 posts)They watch fox all the time and believe what they put out. Many go to sites like Daily Caller for news as well.
Of course they back Trump
But, more people are thoughtful and worried about the country.
They know Obama was a good and decent President.

(9,897 posts)Only 20% believe that Obama was a better president than Trump?
Trump is literally a 24-7-365 dumpster fire of scandal, idiocy and grift. He has more controversies before the end of AM Executive Time than Obama did in an entire term.
This is NOT a partisan issue either, it is objective fact that Donald J. Trump is nowhere NEAR the league as Obama was as a leader and chief executive...to borrow from Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction..."ain't the same ****ing ball park. It ain't the same league. It ain't even the same ****ing sport!"
