Established members of the GOP have done everything in their power to hamstring President Obama’s ability to take action during his two terms. Despite this, however, America’s first black president has managed to pull through some pretty impressive stuff in his 8 years. With his popularity climbing to record levels, it looks like the American people are finally giving him his due respect.

According to a new CNN/ORC poll, the alleged Muslim, Kenyan-born socialist/fascist who is ruining America now has a 52% approval rating. What’s more, this is up from January, when the POTUS was enjoying a 50% approval rating, his highest since he took office. It also marks the third consecutive poll where he’s got a majority approval from the American people, and the fourth where he’s shown a gain in popularity. According to The Hill, this is the best that America has felt about him since 2012.

Contrasting that with other modern presidents, you have Reagan with 48% approval, George W. Bush with 30%, and Bill Clinton narrowly edging out Barack with 55%.

CNN/ORC poll: President Obama's approval rating is up to 52%

Obama has agreed to join Hillary on the campaign trail, and it’s likely that she’s hoping his presence and popularity will translate into a better connection with American voters. Hillary’s approval ratings are at a historic low, according to theHuffington Post. The New York Daily News backed up this hypothesis with a quote from presidential historian Mike Purdy, who said:

‘President Obama’s strong approval ratings, at this point in his presidency, can only help Hillary Clinton’s quest for the White House. Voters who generally believe that the president is doing a good job will be less inclined to vote for a change in the party occupying the White House.’

He went on to elaborate just why Obama may be so positively viewed.

‘President Obama’s legacy among second-term presidents will be strong. … Despite political opposition, Obama’s earnestness, intelligence, and dignified manner have all contributed to his high approval ratings and these factors will leave a strong second-term legacy for the president.’

Obama’s support for Clinton could indeed prove decisive in a battle in November between Clinton and her opponent, whose approval ratings are even lower despite massive populist appeal. But the outcome won’t be terribly clear cut. George H.W. Bush may have been able to credit Reagan partially for his victory in 1988, but being VP to the original President Clinton didn’t help Al Gore win against George W. Bush in 2000. Purdy seems optimistic about Clinton’s chances, but his forecast is certainly guarded.

‘Voters will likely view a vote for Clinton as a vote for the continued stability of the Obama administration versus the unpredictability of a potential Trump administration. Of course, the election is still four-plus months away and in politics that represents an eternity, where there can be many disruptive events that may occur that could change the dynamics of the race.’

Could you share the source of this post other than just CNN? I would like to read it but in your last sentence the words four months about the election appear. What happens once enough people get tired of selling health insurance and in buying it? Oh hell, Trump didn't bring that subject up in the first "debate" did he. Duck because I am sure he will manage to get that in Sunday night. What will old Hilliary do at that point? She won't have her hand picked moderator then.

The election is one month away and your copied article says it is over 4 months away.

He couldn't have acheived that rating without his MSM lapdogs. All this article proves is that there are too many idiots allowed to vote. And a 52 percent approval rating is hardly something to brag about.

At this stage of his incumbancy, 52% approval is about as high as any president has ever received. So you would impose more restrictions on who is allowed to vote ? An IQ test for instance ? Or what ? Tell us.

Richard94611 - Over 70% of the people in this country DISAPPROVE of the way this administration is pushing us towards. This is a fact! Not by me, but most of the MSM which actually surprised me and I bet a whole heck of alot of people. So if over 70% of the countries population DISAPPROVES of the direction obama has been taking us just how in the hell can he have a 52% approval. The answer? He doesnt PERIOD!!!!!!!! Keep this in mind, the 70% plus of us who disapprove are of all poilitical beleifs. Not just republicans and or conservatives. This poll and all the polls that show clinton way ahead are manufactured to push the narrative of the progressive left. Look for yourself at the size difference in attendance between clinton and Mr. Trump. She has had just about 12000 people total show up at rallies she has held. Where as Mr. Trump has anywhere between 7000 to 15000 in attendance at just one event. That doesnt even include the several thousand that have to be turned away because his venues are packed solid. Just think about these things if you would. By the way chelsea clinton just had what was supposed to be a huge event and only 152 or about that many bothered to show up. Compare that to when Mr. Trumps daughter Ivanca holds the same type of event andthey are in the thousands. This should be telling you something rather important I would think.

According to the CNN source article, they polled about 1500 people by telephone at random (from the democratic voter rolls? or where?) and half said the approved. Hmmmmm.
