Obama's net favorability is 39 points higher than Trump's

Tweet from Ian Sams, Kamala Harris's former press secretary:







Obama’s net favorability is 39 points higher than Trump’s:

Obama +26 (62-36%)
Trump -13 (43-56%)

Even a quarter of Republicans view Obama favorably!

A reminder that, while Trump’s recent attacks are a screeching cry to his base, they are overall quite a stupid political move.

And used to say O is "icky" (racist of course), even she now says nostalgically, "oh, he is a real gentleman."

All tRUMP has to do is appeal to the most ignorant Deplorable’s in the country - that really doesn’t require a great effort. The numbers suggest even some of them appear to have soured on little donnie.

Is that republicans are only 24% of the population

Sigh ...

So, once again, we are given false equivalence
