I don't like the results of the poll so I'm going to follow the GOP lead and say that it is skewed. Obama's really at 101% approval and W's really at -50%

Doesn't really matter.

Only thing I'm really curious about is if there would still be fatigue associated with the name due to a potential Jeb run in the future. Bill was more popular than this and it still wasn't enough to overcome it for Hillary.

People are surprised at this?  Ex-Presidents gain popularity in a meteoric way, especially when they're quiet and out of the limelight instead of busting their predecessors balls.

Wasn't enough for Hillary in the primaries. Hillary could've mopped the floor with John McCain, Mitt Romney, and all the rest.

Doesn't change the fact that he presided over the most criminal administration in decades and destroyed the economy, in addition to waging a stupid, pointless war over absolutely nothing in Iraq.

They are both mediocre. But I'm actually leaning towards Obama for who's better.

Yes, we are a forgiving nation, regardless of the other adjectives you might care to use, my friend.
