Why post a report from June if there is one from July and August?
Member posts 2-month old news without noting it's two-months old. Busted!

Truth be known Sanders might well have gotten the nomination if he had any balls and did not say that he did not care about Clintons emails
/----/ Of course none of that is true. It's just you and your leftest butt buddies lashing out.

Not sure why I or anyone who doesn't work in or study media organizations should care about cable channel ratings. Insofar as networks air whatever they do as they do, ratings say more about the viewers than they say about the networks. As for the content cable channels air, the reason they do is simple: to attract viewers so as to attract advertising revenue.
It's no surprise that CNN's viewership has fallen behind Fox and MSNBC. Unlike those two networks, CNN's editorial panels usually consist of "talking heads" from the moderate-to-extreme left, moderate-to-extreme right and, occasionally, center of the political spectrum. Like Fox and MSNBC, CNN's U.S. daytime and evening programming has, IMO, too much editorial content and not nearly enough "straight news" content.
"Slides?" Didn't he start at 45? LOL
Kidding aside, I suspect that, barring the emergence of exceptional circumstances, once his tenure ends and with the 20/20 perfection of hindsight, in some 50 to 100 years, he'll have risen above 45 to someting between 45 and 35. That's not good, but it's not 45.
The WSJ and Federalist Society performed a study to determine how attorneys, historians and political scientists rate presidents in office before 2000. The conclusion:
Ranking U.S. presidents is much more than a parlor game for academics and much less than a full assessment of the myriad successes and failures of the men who have held our highest office. Global measures, such as “Above Average” or “Average” make sense only in comparative terms—and even then they are severely reductionist. Nonetheless, educating the public (as well as other scholars) about current assessments of presidents can contribute to understanding the history of the office, as well as give some perspective for evaluating the recent inhabitants of that office.
This study further contributes to our knowledge of the presidency by showing that length of term in office is an important determinant of reputation. Two-term presidents are today rated much higher than one-term presidents. This is somewhat in conflict with the common wisdom that second terms are always a failure, as well as with the idea that there is little correlation between electoral success and success in office. Democrats rank higher than Republicans in our study, but these differences are not statistically significant. Age at inauguration has no effect on measured success in office.
The rankings in our study are remarkably similar to those in the last Schlesinger study of historians. The correlation between the ranks in the two studies is a stunningly high .94.13 The only large difference between our study and Schlesinger’s was in the ranking of Ronald Reagan. Reagan ranks 8th in our study of presidential scholars, though he ranked 25th in Schlesinger’s last study. Reagan would have ranked 20th in Schlesinger’s study had Schlesinger used a conventional 0-4 (or 1-5) scale.14
By a wide margin, the most over-rated president in our study is John Kennedy, followed by Ronald Reagan. The most under-rated president is also Reagan. The president with highest variability in rankings is Bill Clinton, followed by Wilson and Reagan. Kennedy ranks at the bottom of the “Above Average” grouping, the highest ranking for any president who served less than one term. Reagan joins Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, Jackson, Truman, Eisenhower, Polk, and Wilson in the group of “Near Great” presidents. Clinton ranks in the “Average” grouping, the second lowest ranking for any president who served two full terms.

/----/ Fox has the chops to demand a correct count. It's all about advertising revenue. Always follow the money.

So polls are only leftist when you don't like the results
/----/ hey rightwinger- you laughed at my answer but I spent a decade in advertising and understand advertising rack rates as they are tied to listernship. But you chuckle away like the no nothing you are. Prime time spots on network television that may cost $2,000 to $3,000 per spot usually cost around $175 on cable. For a 30-second spot in a suburban area, advertisers may only spend $25 per spot on channels like CNN and ESPN, $20 for Nickelodeon and TNN, and $15for channels such as VH-1.
