Obama Has Tied Reagan In Public Opinion Polls


President Obama is back at 50% approval. Here’s how.


President Obama's approval rating just hit 50 percent for the first time since the spring of 2013. That's the biggest -- and most surprising -- takeaway from a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

The last time he hit the half-century mark was in May 2013, when WaPo-ABC and a few other pollsters showed him there just a few months into his second term.

But while other pollsters have shown Obama's approval rating getting slightly better, none have shown him recovering to the extent that this survey does. In fact, the new poll represents Obama's biggest approval bump since the mission that killed Osama bin Laden in May 2011. His approval rating has risen nine percentage points in the past month alone, while his disapproval has dropped by 10 points.

The gains are pretty even across the board, but the biggest are among Democrats (10 points), moderates (10), Hispanics (22), and even white evangelical Christians (10), who generally tilt heavily toward the GOP. Obama also has gained 19 points among adults younger than 30.

Greatest president since FDR.
 
So Obama's highest rating tied Reagan's lowest rating.

Reagan's rating was always over 48% according to Gallup (the largest poll). The Washington Post / ABC News poll is comparatively worthless.
 
Times were different back during the Reagan era, the democrats didn't resist everything he did the way the Stupids do with Obama. Oh and yeah, let's dismiss WaPo because since FOXNews makes you dumber, why bother facts and reality.

Oh and Reagan's approval saw the 30's during the recession of '82:

According to Gallup, Obama is 46%. Sounds about right.

I'd trust the Onion before Wapo.
 
Imagine if the fiber of the people was as strong today as during Reagan's day.

Let's see, I'd say Obama's rating might hit 2% approval...MAYBE.

It's not the same country these days.

How true. The US has turned into a liberal pile of crap.
 
In a related stories Kim Jong-un won 100% of the vote last year. Simply an amazing display of unity. USSR had 100% employment until that bastard Reagan ruined it for them.
