    I would be interested in hearing the exact wording of the question concerning the approval rating polls.

    It doesn't really matter, the country said what they really thought about him in the recent election. I'm sure people will try and spin his time in office as a positive but all he did was literally double the national debt while dividing the nation and pushing them further apart than they've been in a LONG time and while making a mess of foreign policy.

    Ergo no poll is ever reliable. Makes sense. Or most likely you just respond rigged to anything not in your favor and when it goes your way then it obviously wasn't rigged. The new Trump standard.

    It's honestly amazing to me how so many of you do not understand the consequences of Trump's scorched Earth campaign and the Republican behavior towards Obama the last eight years. It's like you've convinced yourselves those things never happened and won't have consequences.

    You should try clicking on links, it's a novel concept.

    Sorry. Didn't see the link.

    You should try simply posting the answer to my question rather than being snarky. It's a novel concept.

    Actually all those Presidential polls that said Hillary was going to win, or had a margin of victory - were pretty close to true in the popular voting.

    If her and her campaign did not understand the basic concept of the EC, which has been around since the founding of this country, she probably shouldn't be president.

    In other words, popular vote means nothing. Quit bring it up.

    Yeah we are really going to miss him dividing the country on race and for the growth of ISIS.

    No, sorry, it means a lot, it means that there are more people in this country with honor and integrity, than there are those without any that swallowed their alleged values to vote for a vile human being.

    Yeah, too bad none of that was attributed to him.

    It's a delusion to believe winning an election with the fewest votes means nothing.

    It's delusion to believe that losing so many elections in a row so badly that your party has no control over any part of government whatsoever after controlling everything just over 6 years ago means nothing.

    So, let me get this straight. The tens of millions of people who voted for Clinton (a notorious liar) are keeping their "honor and integrity". Got it.

    By you. By everyone else...yeah, the buck stops here.

    There WAS no ISIS in 2009 when he took over.

    Yeah there was, it was just so small not many people knew about it. It wasn't until the Bush/Obama decision to effectively abandon the middle east that it became something relevant.

    Do you need him to get you a glass of water too? Funny how your snarky challenge to the poll results resulted in people being snarky in responding to you.

    If you choose not to believe information provided to you, fine, choose to only believe information that agrees with your political view. But the article gave the questions, and even links that provided the polling firm and the methodology.

    Yes, because she was far and away the lessor of two evils.

    If you give me a choice between George W Bush (worst president in history) and Adolf Hitler, the choice is Bush...

    I see. "Integrity" in DD's world is a moveable goalpost.

    Got it.

    ISIS was not an entity in 2009. There was an entity named Al Queda in Iraq and it was decimated but pressure taken off and it morphed into ISIS later.

    The goalpost is what it is - at least my God is ok with my choices.
