Barack Obama Approval/Disapproval Poll

[H. Ross Peron]

Approve

[IceSpear]

Interesting, this poll almost matches RCP's average of polls for Obama's approval rating.

The lack of Republican disapproval is compensated by a much larger amount of people who disapprove from the left.

[Franzl]

Disapprove, but I'm convinced any other realistic alternative would disappoint me more.

Even St. Hillary?

Hillary would possibly be more effective, but I have little doubt she'd pursue a worse agenda than Obama.

So all things considered, Obama's about as good as it gets.

You can't get any worse than the ACA when it comes to healthcare reform (besides the Republican "do nothing" plan) so how could she have been worse in that aspect?

I have few reservations when I say I approve of his first 2-3 years as President, but ever since then he's been pretty lame. Not that I lose perspective and don't know he was far better than the alternative, but still.

Even St. Hillary?

President Obama and Secretary Clinton seem to have similar convictions and policy prescriptions on most issues. Even if she could have gotten more done, I would be still be disappointed. The Democratic Party as it exists today cannot give me more than fleeting moments of satisfaction. Its platform simply does not allow for the policies I want on many issues.

Barely approve when compared to the rest of our Presidents.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

I approve, despite all the foreign policy faux-pas he has committed and have come to light, his economic policies outweigh the bad.
PROS: Deficit down by half, HCR passed, Iraq War ended, Bin Laden dead, economy back from the brink of collapse, Iranian peace talks jump started.

CONS: Massive spying operation uncovered, possibility of staying in Afghanistan for another decade or so.

His record will be vindicated in the history books, and he'll be remembered as the Democrats' Reagan; not for his popularity, but for developing a lasting coalition of voters that leads to Presidential victories, an undaunted campaign apparatus, as well as an expansion of the Electoral Map and built in Democratic advantage.

I'm on the fence, but I'd say I mostly disapprove
