Fox News poll: Obama approval rating highest since 2012

[kpete]

President Obama's approval numbers are higher than any time since 2012, with more approving of his job performance than not, according to a new poll.

A majority of voters, 51 percent, approve of Obama's job performance in the Fox News poll released Tuesday evening, while 46 percent disapprove.

The last time Obama's approval rating was at 50 percent or better in the poll was in October 2012, a month before he won reelection, when approval was also 51 to 46 percent.

Obama's high approval in the last year of his tenure has allowed Democrats to rely on him going after Donald Trump, the Republican vying to replace him as president.

1. Another reason that Hillary is running to Obama, not from him.

3. Perhaps, Tony. . .

. . .she has also learned from Gore's mistake of running away from Bill Clinton. Not running on a campaign of sustained excellence when a popular and economically successful president was leaving office (and with whom he served as VP) made the election close enough to steal.

I consider that a major mistake by Gore and perhaps Hillary is thinking the same.
