It was kind of lazy for someone who would think like the OP to just post an article from the Washington Times.

On Tuesday, he ridiculed GOP efforts to rein in his executive powers with the threat of a lawsuit.

Sir Rolo posted:I'm wondering if this is just perception bias on my part, but is the increased polarization of voters on approval of the current President a thing? No, its just Republicans. Democrats will be swayed - that 90 for Bush is proof - but Republicans will never, under any circumstances, give credit for anything positive ever to a Democrat, and will blame everything they gently caress up on a Democrat. AA is for Quitters posted:The republican caucus will care when that sweet donor money dries up because the fact that they're being run by the batshit caucus becomes really well known to people who aren't politically involved. It's a small minority of people who are Tea Party types, and they have overrun the party because they shout the loudest. Getting people who just write the same check every year to support a candidate without ever looking at what/who they're supporting to notice that their previously moderate rep is now way right wing because otherwise he'll be primaried from the right is a good way to stop that money from coming in. And those people will go right the gently caress back to writing that check when Republicans say "Look - HE IS BLACK!".

Yeah I have no idea why criticisms of FDR always go back to worker rights and the Supreme Court packing and not so much the bit where he put the Japanese in internment camps. Him and Teddy Roosevelt were probably the two best presidents for workers rights but god knows they both have some skeletons in thief closets for critics to exploit (though Teddy Roosevelt has a life story that sounds completely made up to be honest).

The sad part is that no amount of reality will change the fact that that poll exists and it's being spun as "OBAMA = WORST PRESIDENT". It's out there, and you can't ever change that. At least for now, people will think of Obama as the definitively worst president since WW2 (backed up by facts!), though I'm sure most people already held that point of view. I don't know very many people who are in the middle on this, they either love him or hate him.

There's hardly a reason to seeing as he can't run for another term and the Hobby Lobby decision is going to dominate the drive for democrats to turn out in the midterms (not that it'll do any good, just saying this poll is not exactly a game changer).

Sir Rolo posted:I'm wondering if this is just perception bias on my part, but is the increased polarization of voters on approval of the current President a thing? Judging by this, his average approval rating is higher than Ford, Carter, or Truman. His lowest approval rating is higher than anyone since Kennedy. His highest approval rating is lower than everyone but Reagan and Nixon. This kind of makes sense, giving his governing style. He doesn't go off doing things that are really BAD (the ACA is only the devil in the eyes of hardcore right wingers who hate him anyway), but doesn't do that much that's really good either. You like him one day for ending LGBT discrimination in federal contracts, you hate him the next for deporting millions of people to Mexico. Unless he does something REALLY stupid in the next 2.5 years (not counting out the possibility), history will probably be fairly kind to him. In 10 or 15 years, he won't have anywhere near those disapproval numbers. The majority of the Tea Party will die off and take most their racism with them. He'll be remembered for being the first black president, for having an inspirational speaking style, for trying to rein in health insurance company abuses, for being in office when Bin Laden was captured, and for dealing semi-gracefully with a lovely obstructionist backwards Congress. That's probably enough to keep him out of the bottom tier.

The World has (had) different opinions. Poll: Outside U S. Obama support High (.pdf) (UPI.com) quote:Sixty-three percent of those queried said the U.S. president has a high or very high impact on their lives. quote:If U.S. elections were a global affair, 63 percent said they would vote and 81 percent said they would support Obama, compared to 19 percent for Romney. Among U.S. voters, the two candidates are separated by only 3-5 percentage points quote:Obama's support was highest in Iceland (98 percent); Netherlands, Portugal, Germany (97 percent); Ireland, Denmark (96 percent); quote:Romney garnered the most support in Israel (65 percent), Pakistan (41 percent), Georgia (36 percent), Macedonia (30 percent), China (29 percent), Lebanon (26 percent), Iraq (20 percent), Ofcause, in most of europe, liberals are considered center right.
