Obama less popular than every living president - including George W. Bush
Daily Mail ^ | June 3, 2015 | Francesca Chambers

Barack Obama is the least popular living president, a new survey shows.

Once the most-liked leader of the free world, Obama's favorability ratings have tumbled as he plows through the second term of his presidency.

A CNN/ORC International poll released today has 49 percent of Americans giving the sitting president a thumbs up and 49 percent giving him a thumbs down.

And in retrospect, they now believe that George W. Bush wasn't so bad after all. A slim majority, 52 percent, say they have a positive opinion of the 43rd President President of the United States.

It's the first time since Bush left office that his approval ratings have been in the black.

In February of 2009, after the end of his second term, a striking 33 percent of Americans said they still liked him while 63 percent seemed grateful he was gone.

George H.W. Bush is also well-liked now, with 64 percent of Americans giving the one-term president praise.

Another one-term Oval Office occupant, Jimmy Carter, is also viewed positively in the latest poll. His approval rating is now at 56 percent.

Six percent of respondents told pollsters they'd 'never heard' of the 39th president, though. He was the only leader of the free world on the list who was unknown by a large enough percentage of people for it to show up in the results.

Those who voted for him in 2008 deserve ridicule.

Those who voted for him in 2012 deserve contempt.

You have to give obama some credit, I never thought we would have a president who makes Carter look good in comparison.

Millenial voters have either never heard of Carter, or they think he’s dead. Otherwise Obama could never have gotten elected.

obozo’s revenge on America has been in play since before he became a senator. He wears his unpopularity like a crown of achievement and loves to observe his destruction of American and its people. He's not finished and we are allowing him and those in DC free passage to carry on. Our Constitution gives us legal recourse so we deserve what we get for not acting to stop it.

Obviously those Media types have been sitting on their hands rather than propping up The Dear Leader.

Time for Obama to toss a couple of the lazy Bastards off a Building.

That’s because he’s not a “President,” he’s a TRAITOR!

He’s a Muslim Brother, and almost definitely NOT a citizen!

“Those who voted for him in 2012 deserve contempt.” Amen. They were either brainwashed university Communists or those addicted to Free Stuff.

He’s probably also a lot less popular than almost all the dead presidents too.

We are about to witness the tantrums a malignant narcissist tosses when he is exposed as an empty, selfish, childish, degenerate. He is incapable of feeling guilt so he will project his fury upon America and plot our final end. The Rapture is even at the door, folks.
