Barack Obama still liked around the world, survey suggests

[TimTang]

99% of surveys are fabricated out of thin air.

[TimTang]

the Obama Administration is good at telling people how much better things are since he took office. Couple of interesting figures:

Food Stamps: Average monthly participation 2009 - 33,490,000, 2015 45,767,000

Real Median Household Income 2009 - $55,415, 2014 - $53,657

Per Capita Income 2009 - $29,140, 2014 - $28,889

No consideration in those figures for inflation, increased cost of Health Care, etc. So how are people in general better off?

There seems to be more animosity between races, income groups, etc. than ever. Almost 3,500 people killed in Chicago alone to date during his term in office. 85% of those African Americans. Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago all bastions of Democratic politics are a mess. There is more violence in the Middle East since he took office (you can blame Bush for the Iraq invasion) but I don't give Obama a very high score for pulling out troops too soon. Libya and ISIS are on Obama's watch (it is difficult to keep blaming Bush 7 years down the road) and the lack of a coherent policy with regard to who in the hell we are supporting in Syria has made the situation worse and last but not least, relations with Russia are at an all time low (although Putin seems to want to reset things now that he has firmly got Crimea and part of Ukraine under his control). Relations with Israel aren't particularly good either. Obama is as bad a Jesse Jackson when it comes to opening his mouth after police shootings of blacks before he even has the facts and now we have a black lunatic getting riled up by "black lives matter" and shooting white policemen. I would say in a general the United States was a better place to live and work before Obama took office, and no I don't blame it all on him. He surely is a smart man but he sure must be one of the most ill-equipped persons to take the office in a long time. His resume is basically one of teaching a short while at a university, a little time as a community organizer, and the rest of it feeding out of the public trough in politics and getting public paychecks all his life. Even I had the hope in 2008 that he would be the first black president and bring everyone together. That things are worse will be his legacy. So as much as many people think he can do no wrong, I sure would like to see what he has done right.

His leadership style has been one of obstinance and digging in when he doesn't get his way. Almost every political speech he has given has been used blame others for the problems. It has always been his way or the highway. That's his style.

.

The Obama administration claims the unemployment rate is 4.7% yet there are between 93 to 97 million out of the work force which makes it REALLY 33%.

Apparently Obama Makes EVERYONE Upset...

Poor Barry - he's just doing his best to destroy America and even the Terrorists don't appreciate him!

The result of this survey will not sit well with Republicans. They hate Obama enough for the entire rest of the world. He's a negro, you know.

Next up on the hate list, Hillary Clinton. Take it away, boys.

Moronic to throw race into it...he was elected twice because whites bought his pack of lies...it is about his divisive politics...targeting political opponents for special Obama treatment by his henchmen...lack of securing the borders...interjecting his personal views in active investigations...and bringing the whole government to a new low...totally ignoring Constitutional mandate to include Congress in his decisions...to become a one man show...some might say the first dictator of the US...these are the reasons Republicans find him repugnant...he does not pass the smell test...his color is irrelevant...

Throwing out the race card does nothing to increase your chances of making a point...IMHO

First dictator in the US? You do realize that's <deleted> crazy right? Include Congress in decisions? You're talking about a Congress that can't and won't do anything that might show it's working with Obama. 50 times they ceremoniously voted to end Obamacare health insurance to 20 million Americans! Work with that congress? Tsk.

Every avid trump supporter is an unrepentant bigot. You can't seriously tell me that racism isn't rampant in the Republican party. I suppose there maybe a wingnut out there that isn't a racist, but they're few and far between.

Republicans hate Obama because he's a democrat, the fact that he's also a black man makes him despicable.

You cite "real median HH income" and immediately follow by saying this overlooks inflation. FYI, "real" means normalized for inflation. As to the food stamps number, if anything there's probably growth in the base population, and a proper analysis should look at trends in the size of vulnerable groups (e.g., it may be age related).

Broader point, you can always find some cherry-picked numbers. The headlines today say 289,000 jobs added in Q1. You have to take into account the economy he inherited, the global environment, and the fact a president can only do so much.

Easily one of the best ever (teleprompter readers, that is.)

No slouch when it comes to fibbing with a straight face either.

Don't go PC on us Ulysses G - Obama lies straight out. No 'fibbing' involved.

The best part is, he doesn't know he is lying.

Of course he's liked he's for uncontrolled borders, moving American manufacturing overseas, free money for illegals and he's received the Nobel Peace Prize before he even started... everyone likes a good joke. Obama would be an interesting guy to sit down and drink a few beers with but I wouldn't want him to run my country... unfortunately that has been the case and Americans are faced with open borders, no jobs, race divisions and more.

I expect that if you actually did sit down and drink a few bears with Obama you would want him to run your country. Round about the third beer you would start appreciating his intelligence and by the fifth you would notice his decency and sincerity.

Would he be using a telemprompter?

Libya and ISIS are on Obama's watch (it is difficult to keep blaming Bush 7 years down the road) and the lack of a coherent policy with regard to who in the hell we are supporting in Syria has made the situation worse and last but not least, relations with Russia are at an all time low (although Putin seems to want to reset things now that he has firmly got Crimea and part of Ukraine under his control). Relations with Israel aren't particularly good either. Obama is as bad a Jesse Jackson when it comes to opening his mouth after police shootings of blacks before he even has the facts and now we have a black lunatic getting riled up by "black lives matter" and shooting white policemen. I would say in a general the United States was a better place to live and work before Obama took office, and no I don't blame it all on him. He surely is a smart man but he sure must be one of the most ill-equipped persons to take the office in a long time. His resume is basically one of teaching a short while at a university, a little time as a community organizer, and the rest of it feeding out of the public trough in politics and getting public paychecks all his life. Even I had the hope in 2008 that he would be the first black president and bring everyone together. That things are worse will be his legacy. So as much as many people think he can do no wrong, I sure would like to see what he has done right.

His leadership style has been one of obstinance and digging in when he doesn't get his way. Almost every political speech he has given has been used blame others for the problems. It has always been his way or the highway. That's his style.

.

The Obama administration claims the unemployment rate is 4.7% yet there are between 93 to 97 million out of the work force which makes it REALLY 33%.

93-97 million unemployed Americans. Lazy shiftless babies included.

No. Those numbers are for working age individuals only. Nice try at spinning the facts. You should apply for a job at MSNBC. You are a natural.

Obama is reviled overseas. Definitely not 'well liked'!

...he didn't get the name Drone Ranger for his actions that led to his Peace Prize!

It's appears that you can't read too well. Try the OP with a dictionary.

[donnybay]

When is he going to tell the world about the arrival of Nibiru into our solar system? soon i think

[ToS2014]

Last time I checked, there were 196 countries in the world, and to say that they pooled 18 counties,

and found that he's well liked in those courtiers, by the same token I can name 10 countries and more

that he's absolutely hated there....

to poll small number of countries is to do half job and those results doesn't reflect fare and

correct cross section of the world's populations,

i'd like to see the the polling of the state that he presides over....well never mind...i'll just forget the 'he is liked all over the world' idea

Actually, Obama has a very high approval rating in the USA and would handily defeat Trump & Clinton if he could run again.

People that watch FOX wouldn't know that of course.

Yes, "round the world" in highly-socialistic countries, that is. And c'mon, Kenya!?

The BBC article, HERE, did not provide a full list of the countries and included a "survey suggests" in the title.

It's the blatant propaganda I'm having trouble with - which I don't need a dictionary to translate.

The fact that Russia was the only country with a huge disapproval doesn't encourage me either.

Obama is what he is and what that is has become very obvious over the past eight years to American citizens that have "skin in the game" other than Federal and State welfare checks.

Given your error-ridden opinions,, it doesn't surprise me that you are completely averse to doing a data search. In the BBC article it says globe scan did the poll. So I did a search using these "words globescan poll obama favorability worldwide"

Here's the link. https://www.google.co.th/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8&q=globescan%20poll%20obama%20favorability%20worldwide&oq=globescan%20poll%20obama%20favorability%20worldwide&rlz=1C1CHFX_enTH691TH691&aqs=chrome..69i57.12918j0j7

Putin and Trump being such good friends, I'm not surprised by your lack of encouragement.

So people in other countries like President Obama.

That isn't necessarily a good thing.

If the coach of your team is popular with fans of other teams then he is probably doing something wrong.

Why don't you Buzzz-off? We don't need Fox to tell us what demographic the 50% approval rating represents:

Hint: Left-wing loonies (such as yourself), socialists, economic migrants, welfare recipients, blacks, entrenched Democrats, Felons, stoners, the low IQ, anti-Americans in general. Consider why California, New York and Illinois are displayed as, pardon the expression, dark states.

Well, maybe you are more skilled with data search than I gave you credit for. Apparently you hunted for the least favorable ratings for the past month. For those of us who live more nearly in the present, here's a list that's closer to the present.

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/state_of_the_union/

And it should be pointed out that the 2 pollsters who give Obama the lowest ratings here are also rated lower for reliability in presidential elections by fivethirtyeight.com

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/pollster-ratings/

And the Gallup poll, which is the only pollster that has been doing this for a long enough time, says that Obama's rating are slightly ahead of Reagan's at the same point in their respective tenures.
