President Trump Is the Second-Most Admired Man in America, Gallup Poll Finds - Time

Puigb said:
lol, are you joking? Right wing media and it's idiot followers were the ones spewing "bilge" for years, which is what created Trump. That's why the right even backed Trump in first place. You guys like to play the victim, when in reality your side is filled with some of the most hateful vile people imaginable, and then you elect a race baiter who's entire political career was based on insulting others.

Let me know when you when you wake up from whatever you are.

he won for the reasons I stated. Using race and nationalism to rile up an angry Republican base and get them to ignore his liberal past and support him. And guess what? It worked.

Umm...nope. It was about jobs and the oppressive SJWs of the left.

Why does a poll have you so worked up?

I really don't understand why you are in this thread. It is a thread about a poll. If you don't want to discuss the poll then there is no reason for you to be in this thread.

I am discussing the poll. What I'm not is losing my marbles because Obama beat out Trump.

I'm not either. Please show where I am losing my marbles because Obama beat out Trump.

So then why do you keep saying the poll results are BS? Better question - who cares about it that much? The polls results are probably right. Bad as Obama is/was, more people in the country respect and admire him than the man who took his office.

I didn't particularly say that the poll results are BS. You're not listening. All I said was that if we are going to accept Obama as Americans' most admired man on the planet then we have to also accept Trump as being Americans's second most admired man on the planet. If someone doesn't like the poll results then I'm also perfectly fine with tossing them out and calling them BS. I will accept whichever decision people want to make but it has to be either one way or the other. You can't accept the poll results with Obama being number one and then dismiss the very same poll results which show Trump being number two.

I wouldn't care either way. But if you want to believe that Obama is more admired than Trump, then go with that.

outside of the wall, the muslim ban, and the birther crap, Trump's "message" was the same as every single other GOP candidate on that stage. "Jobs" isn't the reason why he won the nomination.

Uhh...wut? He talked about jobs a lot, and addressed legitimate concerns, like offshored jobs. Now whether he will actually be able to do anything about it is a different story. You want to ignore the fact that he won the normally solidly Democrat rust belt, but he won it for those very reasons.

He won the rust belt because Hillary was an awful candidate, and a lot of her support went to third party candidates, or didn't vote at all. Regardless, nothing you said addresses the GOP primaries. Trump didn't win that because of "jobs", he won it because of race, which he specifically made a central part of his campaign.

Certainly more profound than anything the current Republican president ever said, that's for sure.

President Trump Is the Second-Most Admired Man in America | Time

Donald Trump may be the current president, but in terms of who Americans most admire, his predecessor and the person he beat in the 2016 election top the list.

Barack Obama edged his successor as the most admired man for 2017, a Gallup poll finds, marking the first time since 2008 when a sitting president didn’t win the annual accolade. Hillary Clinton, meanwhile, is the woman Americans most admire for the 16th year in a row.

It was a close race. Seventeen percent of those surveyed named Obama as the man they most admire, to 14 percent for Trump. To no surprise, there was a wide partisan split, with 35 percent of Republicans saying Trump was most admired man of the year, and 39 percent of Democrats picking Obama.

Americans most admire the last president. He helped our economy by reversing the downward economic trend & helping to create an economy that put over 15 million people back to work (see graphic attached).

I find it very hard to believe that Donald Trump is admired by too many in this country. I hear kids singing funny songs about him--I hear remarks about him from other Americans, that aren't real kind, even in conservative districts. Even from people who regret voting for him. HE'S A JOKE.

At least you know what category to put yourself for peer-comparisons.

So you're saying the president voted in office by MILLIONS of self proclaimed "conservative Republicans" including your hero Rand Paul isn't "profound"? Interesting.

"Americans most admire the last president. He helped our economy by reversing the downward economic trend & helping to create an economy that put over 15 million people back to work."

And Trump is taking credit for the continued success of the upward economy established under Obama.

I wonder if the "most admired" vote was broken-down by states' electoral vote if Trump would have won.
