Real Clear Politics: President Obama's Current Approval Rating 48%.

When President Obama took office his Approval rating was 65.1% it is now a healthy 48.1% in 2016, the President's last year. In 2008, Bush's last year, he had an approval rating of 28.2% and a DISapproval rating of 65.0%. The next time a neocon brings up the President's approval ratings remember the facts.

I think Bernie is the right candidate for this time, yes. I don't think he was the right candidate for 2007-2008 (though at least he would have prosecuted financial crime). I also don't think Obama would be the right candidate for 2016.

It's really not hard to be reasonable about politics.

Now I await my insult..
