APP - Obama the WORST President since WWII

And this isn't a Rasmussen poll. This is from USA Today. My first response was "how did I miss this?". But obviously the Democrat Media Industrial Complex did all it could to bury this.

Now obviously this is only a plurality, but as Obama is seen in the light of Trump's many accomplishments, I suspect this number to increase

I thought that was a given. People need a poll to understand the awfulness of the Obama Reign of Error?

You forgot to mention that the poll dates from July 2014. Tut tut.

Here's one from the same pollster, March 2018:
Who is the worst president since WWII?

Donald Trump 41%
Barack Obama 21%
Richard Nixon 10%
Jimmy Carter 8%
George W. Bush, 6%

But while Obama came second for worst president, he also came second for best president.
Who is the best president since WWII?

Ronald Reagan 28%
Barack Obama 24%
John F. Kennedy 10%
Bill Clinton 10%
Donald Trump 7%

You're welcome.

I find it strange that you seem willing to accept the results of the 2018 poll, but not the 2014 poll.

I accept the results of both polls. Do you?

In 2014, before Donald Trump came on the scene, 33% rated Obama as the worst president since WW II. In 2018
41% gave Trump that position.

The two polls are here:

I do not.

My reluctance to place credence in polls or to cite them as objective evidence is well-known on the forum, I believe.

If you weren't aware of it previously, you are now.

The Obama was not as bad as Carter, but he came close. Gosh, how high was inflation back then?

 

[Tranquillus in Exile]

I do not. My reluctance to place credence in polls ... is well-known

That seems to depend on the poll results. You enthused over the 2014 poll when Teflon Don first posted it, apparently thinking it was "recent". I recall some comment about Trump's "great achievements" showing Obama in his true light.

That was originally your post #2. Then I posted the correct facts, and you deleted yours.

I see you did it again, deleting a post to which I had already replied. That's your privilege, of course.

I often delete posts. Any imputation of impropriety or base motivation is unsupported by the facts.

Your recollection of the deleted post in question is at odds with mine. I can request that a moderator restore my deleted post if you like. Just say the word.

Please do. That would be your post from July 3 or 4. It's possible that my recollection of it is faulty, of course.

I will submit the request immediately.

Barack Obama was certainly not the greatest or most effective president ever...and may be regarded by future historians as somewhere in the number two tier of presidents.

Donald Trump will almost certainly rank near the bottom...if not AT THE BOTTOM of the list.

Obama was a gentleman...and ADULT...two things Trump seems unable to even approach.

Obama served the office with dignity...Trump brings shame and degradation to it.

To be fair, however, I will acknowledge that Trump takes many more vacations days than did Obama...and plays a hell of a lot more golf.

I can help you there, Dark Soul. The lowest inflation rate in the past ten years was 0.1% in 2008 and 0.7% in 2015.
It is currently 2.8%, the highest in seven years.

An inflation rate of 2-4% is considered normal. It was low during The Obama because few had jobs; no money means no consumption. It was sky high during Carter due to shitty monetary policy.

Well?

Well?

You were replying to Teflon Don's comment in the OP (about a poll conducted in 2014):
"As Obama is seen in the light of Trump's many accomplishments, I suspect this number to increase."

However, as you didn't actually say this yourself but were merely agreeing with it, you have my qualified apology.

In view of the nature of your previous assertion, that seems rather graceless to me.

The fact is that you have no idea why I deleted the post, and your mis-characterization is blatantly incorrect, as proven by the original post.

Furthermore, you are speculating wildly about my supposed motivation in posting in the first place.

Obama was a divisive, race-baiter filled with hate.

The day he left office was a glorious victory for America. Thank God eight years wasn't enough to destroy the greatest county in the world.
