Survey Atlasia: February Presidential Approval Rating

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

This poll is for all registered voters and will run for five days.

[Adam Griffin]

It's almost over

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It is my sincere hope that the next week passes extremely slowly.

[Lumine]

I actually approve of myself, I'm at that point in which I wish I had two more weeks to solve the remaining crises, xD

I know that feeling. I would need more then two weeks though.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Let's be fair. Lumine faced very difficult challenges such as lack of active State Department, departure of the GM and need to fill the spot. And there was other business, like impeachment crisises, overall bad partisan atmosphere, country still recovering from the civil conflict, etc. But he was very active and now, that we have SoEA and GM in place, he did more to react to the events than many other Presidents.

Given all that, you bet I approve.

[windjammer]

Strongly Disapprove.

Just to be clear, I do like Lumine at personal level (even if we constantly fight each other since February 2014 xD). I do believe he did all he could. However, I simply do not like what he did:
- I know this is difficult to make a budget analysis, but when you inform the senators you want to propose your budget. You don't finally propose your plan 1 week  before a potential shutdown.
- His game reforms proposals basically stripping GM duties.
- Some gross amendments he proposed that failed to even get the support of a single senator.
- And his vision of the executive power that I simply don't share.

But still, I wish him a good retirement and I know he wanted to perform well. I simply disapprove what he has done.

[Oakvale]

I like what he's done, but wish that he'd been more assertive about it. That said, given how brutal the political environment has been to everyone on Lumine's side of the aisle, I doubt that anyone else would be doing better. Somewhat approve.

This is basically my opinion. Lumine made a few errors early on, most crucially taking the results of the midterm as a reflection on his Presidency, and thus marginalised himself. I think it was also a mistake to announce so early that he wouldn't seek a second term. I like his proposals on (trigger warning) "Game Reform" and I'm generally on board with the policy he supported, and his Justice Department has, the occasional misstep aside, been one of the best in Atlasian history.

Perhaps most importantly, I think Lumine's administration has restored stability after the disaster and chaos of the preceding months. Ironically, it's largely turned out how I expected the DemPGH administration to - somewhat disappointing, but competent. While he could have been a stronger presence, the demise of the Atlasian Right as a political force and a Left hell-bent on painting his every action as a nefarious plot (including electing a professional troll as a Senator on this platform...) didn't help matters. He's been something of a victim of events.

Somewhat Approve, then.

[ZuWo]

Strongly approve.

Lumine has restored stability and shown a great deal of competence on various issues. As someone who's really worn out at the end of this term I can't blame him for being tired after four months of relentless and typically unjustifiable attacks.

[Prince of Salem]

Strongly approve of "Law and Order Lumine"

[Maxwell]

he's been a good President. I'll give him a somewhat approve.

[Lumine]

Strongly approve of "Law and Order Lumine"

You know what? I actually like that one, xD

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

he's been a good President. I'll give him a somewhat approve.

[Flake]

Lumine for god king of Atlasia

[Boston Bread]

Somewhat approve, acknowledging how work he did despite the cruel political environment.

[Enderman]

Lumine for god king of Atlasia

But what about Duke?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Strongly approve.

I have differed with him on a few points, but I have parted ways with every President, including Duke of all people (and especially MaroDuke, fun times ). That said, I wish he had ran and won reelection. He made a lot of great cabinet picks, he did actually have a reform agenda even if you didn't agree with all of it and we did finally get the budget done, something that there was no apetite for previously.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Lumine for god king of Atlasia

But what about Duke?

I'm just old news now, just a lowly Southern legislator.

Most people probably don't even remember The Era of Good Feeling!

[Sec. of State Superique]

Strongly approve.

That pretty sums up what I think of this Honorable Gentleman.

This.  I think Lumine was a better President then he gets credit for even if he made a few mistakes, especially given all the challenges he's had to deal with.
