This poll was done in 2008 for Obama/Bush. 8 years later, it is clear that Obama was indeed a much better president than Bush by virtually every metric.

If history is any guide, Trump will trash the country so bad it will take the entire next Democratic administration to fix it so it can be handed over to the next incompetent Republican.

I will be pleasantly surprised if he's a better president George W. Bush. I dont think he'll hold a candle to Obama.

If history is any guide, Trump will trash the country so bad it will take the entire next Democratic administration to fix it so it can be handed over to the next incompetent Republican.

Hubert Humphrey once observed that since Democrats did better (at that time, at least) among those of lower economic means while Republicans did better among those with higher incomes, that when Republicans are in office, the economy does poorly, and thus since Americans are overall poorer they then vote in Democrats. Democrats improve the economy, but since Americans are then wealthier, they elect Republicans.

And so the cycle continues.

Also reminds me of Harry Truman's comment that if you want to live like a Republican, you need to vote Democratic.

He'll be George W Bush level bad, with a good dose of Warren G Harding mixed in.  So no, not at all.

But Trump having been elected will make Obama's legacy worse.

If huge majorities couldn't do it with Obama, I doubt a slim one will get much done.

Obama is top 3. Trump will probably be top 5, but he could surprise me.

Yeah, he will turn out to be infinitely worse than W.

I think he'll be better than George W. Bush (which isn't hard) but no-where near as good as Obama.

No way at best Trump is going to be an unholy mix of Jimmy Carter's (high inflation, recession economy, high gas prices, and weak response to Russian aggression) and Nixon (authoritative response to protests, wide scale civilian causalities in Syria, and a major corruption scale). An at worst he causes the end of humanity over a tweet

Trump is likely to inherent the next recession and even more likely if he is reelected. I think two memorable moment that humanized Obama was when he cried addressing the press on Newtown and breaking out in Amazing Grace at Emanuel church. I would like to see how Donald Trump handles those situations other than that I guess you can say he is more prone to corruption than Obama but its to early to tell.
