    Sooner or later Obama was going to be judged on his policies and performance despite emotional considerations.

    If we look back a couple decades, the GOP hurt itself by having too much control and moving too far to the right. The democrats are doing the exact same thing now, even worse when the Potus intentionally lies on a regular basis. These results are found from a plethora of polling sources, and it should open the eyes of the left when even ultra left huffingtonpost can no longer fudge the numbers to their political advantage.

    The midterms will be upon us shortly. I see much change comming. I only hope the right will cease this s opportunity to band together and stop Obamas agenda in its tracks, be clear in their message, to bring back the majority of voters they should have in their corner. In 2016, the GOP has to put some issues aside, and run a moderate to beat Hillary. Win back the country first, then work on the conservative issues over time.

    I would like that link too, when I went to Huffington, their polls didn't seem to reflect that and your post offers no comparisons to what they think about Republicans or Congress, and that does have to be taken into account to determine if they are in a better or worse position to be voted for next time out.

    So if Obama's positives are at....let's say ten percent, and the Republicans are at five, it might bode quite well for Democrats especially since Obama won't be running.

    Wow, that is eye opening to say the least. But I would question the demographics of the polling areas? Can we see how many people in each state took the poll ?

    Never have trusted him and with good reason, he lied when he spoke before the DNC in 2004 and that was an indicator he could not be trusted, further he has spent millions to keep all his records sealed and that is not the actions of a person who can be trusted.

    Nice Avatar.

    I can certainly believe this to be true, but it would be great if you posted a link to prove it to the Obamabots. As you say, Huffington Post is hardly a conservative website.

    Obama is not the problem, the far left agenda is. Billary is next - Obama in a pant suit.

    Yes, I saw it. I'm surprised 14% still trust him after months of lying and blaming.

  • 8 years ago

    Scary part is the brain dead far righties will actually believe that was a real poll at Huffington Post.

    Normal humans will understand you are completely and utterly full of BS.

    At least he's easier on the eye than your Republicans and our current Prime Minister = UK.
