Here's One Poll The Press Doesn't Want You To See (excerpt) As President Obama left the White House, the mainstream press was falling over itself proclaiming how popular he was. "Obama leaving office on a very high note," was a typical headline. Yet despite the media's fixation with polls, the press completely buried one of the more newsworthy poll findings — a Gallup report that came out last Friday, which took a final look at the President Obama's popularity over his eight years in office. That poll found that Obama's overall average approval rating was a dismal 47.9%. Only three presidents scored worse than Obama since Gallup started doing these surveys in 1945: never-elected Gerald Ford (47.2%), one-termer Jimmy Carter (45.4%), and Harry Truman (45.4%). Obama even did worse overall than Richard Nixon, whose average approval was 49%, and was less popular overall than George W. Bush, who got an average 49.4%.

Only liberals can choose not to go down the road to widespread, systematic violence. | |

And yet, that's still higher than the Orange One's incoming approval, the lowest EVER according to Gallup.
