I don’t pay much attention to polls, and I really don’t care about this one, either, even if it says what I think – but you want to talk about it, judging by my email inbox. But according to NBC News<\/a>, 1400 or so people say that Obama is the worst President since the last one. <\/p>\n

“Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel,” said Tim Malloy, assistant director of Quinnipiac University’s polling unit.<\/p>\n

While Obama’s job approval rating has inched higher to 40 percent, up from 38 percent in December, more voters gave him largely negative marks in key areas: the economy, foreign policy, healthcare and terrorism, according to the poll.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Personally, I think Nixon was a worse president than Bush, not because of all of that manufactured BS like using the IRS against opponents (which never happened), but rather Nixon’s handling of the economy – like that stupid “Wage and Price Freeze” thing which ended up making inflation worse. And his “detente” with the Soviet Union was pretty bad, too, as Ronald Reagan proved a decade later. <\/p>\n

The worst part of the Quinnipiac University poll wasn’t included in the NBC story, but it’s at the Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Quinnipiac found 45 percent of voters say the country would have been better off if Mr. Romney, the 2012 GOP nominee, had been elected, while just 38 percent say Mr. Obama remains a better choice. Even Democrats aren\u2019t so sure \u2014 just 74 percent of them told the pollsters Mr. Obama was clearly the better pick in the last election.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As bad as Bush got in the public opinion polls, I don’t think anyone who was rational and objective ever said the words out loud that we would have been better off with Al Gore or John Kerry as president. Nor did anyone say “I should have voted for George McGovern” or “I wish I’d voted for Bob Dole”. So, that’s pretty bad for this president.<\/p>\n

But, I’m sure Obama scored well among environmentalists, immigration activists and gay activists, so he’s got that going for him. I hope veterans have learned their lesson in regards to voting for Democrats. What am I saying? They should have learned their lesson during the Carter and Clinton Administrations but they didn’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
