President Barack Obama had an average approval rating of 47.9 percent during his time in office, according to the Gallup poll.

That puts him behind Richard Nixon, who resigned, and George W. Bush, who saw his approval rating drop as low as 25 percent near the end of his term.

It puts him ahead of only Gerald Ford (47.2 percent), Jimmy Carter (45.5 percent) and Harry Truman (45.4 percent). …

The ONLY reason that JFK’s numbers are so high, are that he was assassinated; his numbers stank on ice, when he went to Dallas, that fateful day and even WITH LBJ’s voter fraud team and Daley’s, Jfk was going to NOT be re-elected and his approval numbers were TERRIBLE !

Hey! How dare you spoil our romantic “To Sir With Love” moment, fantasizing about The One? Are you trying to micro-agress us, or what?

It is a little odd that such a failed President had any kind of respectable rating at all. It is a little indelicate to say but the reason is that most non black people did not want to knock him because of his race and black people went with the standard 99 percent. Mathematically that is very significant and definitely pumps up the number. When you look at how people actually voted you get the true measure. The democRATS running under Zero’s agenda are in their worst position in almost 100 years.

“President Barack Obama had an average approval rating of 47.9 percent during his time in office, according to the Gallup poll.”

Seems a bit odd considering the lap dog press consistently had his poll numbers above 50% or even 55%

Obama’s approval ratings were locked in at 43% since May 2009, then he supposedly got a bounce around the election. We all know that that was just a scam to “prove” that the libs were gaining some ground. The pink elephant in the room is that the approval ratings are TOTAL GARBAGE. These are the same worthless pollsters that told us Hillary would win easily.

From May 2009 to Sept. 2016 Zero was locked in at 43%. A few months above that are going to kick up his average to 47.9%. I call BS, the lamestream media is as bad at math as they are at telling a convincing lie.
