Fox News Poll Finds That Barack Obama Is More Popular Than Trump In Alabama

The Articles of Impeachment does list obstruction of justice charge for Nixon. We may be hearing something similar soon from a corner of DC.:doh

Yes, that's right. It was obstruction of justice to try to cover up a burglary. It's also obstruction of justice to try to stop an investigation into foreign interference in our election.

The first was poor judgement. The second is no less than a threat to our democracy.

Not what I was referring to but its fine you picked that beauty. When was Obama elected again?

This particular program became corrupt much later obviously as the corruption "exploded under President Obama’s administration".

The Obama Phone?

FULL ANSWER

Welfare recipients, and others, can receive a free cell phone, but the program is not funded by the government or taxpayer money, as the e-mail alleges. And it’s hardly new.​

Waaahhhhh? AND it was started by Bush? So you can stop bitching now.

Considering that Trump beat Hillary, and there wasn't a distinguishable difference between Hillary's policies and Obama's, I think the country was ready for a change from the Obama era. Whether the change is going to be better or not remains to be seen, but Trump isn't doing himself any favors so far. If we were to remove the rampant speculation and the absolutely nutty cries for impeachment, we're left with a feckless GOP congress and the democrats twisting in the wind. The country should hope that Mueller hits the gas peddle with his investigation rather than dragging it out indefinitely. Then perhaps we could get something done. That's what bothers me, and not whether somebody now irrelevant is more popular than the president or not.

You were the one that brought this up specifically. And yes that was the way it was SUPPOSED to work. But as with many programs with the government involved it turned out differently.

Free Obamaphones cost Taxpayers $2.2 billion
Millions Improperly Claimed U.S. Phone Subsidies
" It pays carriers $9.25 a customer per month toward free or discounted wireless service.
Americans pay an average of $2.50 a month per household to fund a number of subsidized communications programs, including Lifeline."



Next time you get robbed I expect you to enjoy it and not voice any concern afterwards as you seem to expect others to do.


..and your little dog too!....

Correct. The carriers are paid to distribute the phones at 3 times the cost. You do know what subsidy means right?

Pass the popcorn, folks, and stay tuned. This one is likely to be quite entertaining.

Perhaps the most entertaining will be watching the gyrations of the Trumpeteers trying to tell us how flawed the poll is, how "liberals" are behind it, how their hero is as popular as ever, or perhaps how Hillary is... well, Hillary.

After Bill Clinton was impeached, his popularity went up. Go figure.

Trump isn't well liked or should I say viewed favorably in any region of the country. Nationwide YouGov gives him a 35% favorable vs. 58% unfavorable. Breaking it down further, Northeast 32% favorable, 58% unfavorable. Midwest 39% favorable, 56% unfavorable. South 36% favorable, 56% unfavorable and west 29% favorable, 62% unfavorable. Question 62A in the link below.

So what is surprising about that. On election day Trump had a 36% favorable vs. 62% unfavorable nationwide. Not much has changed in a years time. I didn't expect those numbers to change much. Trump began his presidency with 60% of all Americans viewing him unfavorably or in a negative light. Trump hasn't tried to expand his base one bit. He has totally ignored independents and hasn't even tried to unify the Republican Party behind him. But Trump isn't the only one in Washington to be view negatively. It seems today, everyone is.

Mike Pence 36% favorable, 46% unfavorable
Paul Ryan 23% favorable, 54% unfavorable
Mitch McConnell 13% favorable, 55% unfavorable
Nancy Pelosi 28% favorable, 48% unfavorable
Chuck Schumer 26% favorable, 37% unfavorable

Questions 62B thru F in the link above. How about political parties?

Democratic Party 38% favorable, 49% unfavorable
Republican Party 26% favorable, 62% unfavorable

Questions 63 A and B in the link above.

No love there for anyone in Washington. But the GOP numbers are in the pits. Good thing for the Republicans the midterms aren't today. If they were the Democrats would sweep into congress as the least disliked party. The Democrats sure aren't liked, but they are not as much disliked as the GOP.

What a way to choose a government, voting for candidates and a political party you hate the least.

Oh, as for Obama, if he could have run for a third term and he was running against Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, I would have voted for him. I disagreed with more than a few of his policies, but at least Obama was presidential and a very decent guy. He didn't throw temper tantrums like a five year old via twitter and there were no name calling. Disagree with any of his policies, but his parent did teach him some manners.

Impeaching Trump is a bad move, politically. Then, Pence would be in charge. He is much more capable than Trump, more accepted by Congress.

That depends on whether or not we want a president who is capable and accepted by Congress.

When your assaulter leaves you never really "like" them so much as feel relief they are gone and you survived.
