Obama most polarizing president in modern history

[DigitalDrifter]

Bet you never saw this one coming, right ?

Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama's approval rating may be on the upswing, but he remains one of the most polarizing presidents in modern history, according to a new Gallup analysis.

Gallup found that over Obama's sixth year in office, an average of 79% of Democrats and just 9% of Republicans approved of the job he was doing, in a report out Friday.

That 70% gap in approval from the parties ties for the fifth-most polarized year for a president in the past 60.

With the economy continuing to improve and the political battles of the midterms safely behind him, Obama has enjoyed slightly higher approval ratings in recent months.

But his tenure has been one of the most polarizing overall of any modern president. Each of his six years in office have ranked in the top 10 most polarized since 1953, with President George W. Bush taking the other four slots.

And as an election looms, the polarization escalates.

Obama's most polarized year was his fourth, when average Democratic approval was at 86%, while Republicans approved of him at an average of 10%. Bush's year heading into his reelection fight was also his most polarizing.

Funny Gallup has always had a far left lean to it. Then when they come out and counter Obama on a rare instance, the far left will not believe gallop anymore..

There is a lot of hate in the GOP right now. Slightly more than the Dems had 14-6 years ago.

You would not believe the CEO or Gallup at this point, since they disagree with you and can prove their point (and you can't).

Still does not support your "hate" claims on the GOP side..

Just because the far left hates anything not far left does not mean anyone that disagrees with Obama "hates" him..

Thus once again you were caught pushing the far left propaganda..

But, buh, buh...there were the Crusades!

 

[rightwinger]

Unlike Democrats who were willing to give Bush a chance, Republicans have disapproved of Obama since the day he took office

The Rightwing media demands it

No, I think hate is the right word. Not just the political hate that President Bush inspired, but a visceral hate that lingers from a bygone era in America. Especially in the South.
