America Prefers George W. Bush Over Barack Obama, According To Study
The rest of America has finally realized what the fine visitors of this site have known since 2008: that George W. Bush is better than Barack Obama.
According to a new CNN/ORC poll released Wednesday, Bush received a favorable review from 52 percent of those surveyed. Obama trailed behind, receiving a favorable review from 49 percent of those surveyed.
Bush also received fewer unfavorable reviews than the current president. From those surveyed, Bush received 43 percent unfavorable reviews, while Obama received 49 percent unfavorable reviews.
The study was conducted on May 29-31 by telephone, surveying 1,025 Americans, with an overall margin of error of plus-or-minus 3 percentage points.
It is also worth noting that among all living presidents, George H. W. Bush and Bill Clinton both received a 64 percent favorable review. The trend seems to be that the longer a president has been out of office, the less they are hated. That makes sense considering retired presidents focus on charities and other feel-good stuff rather than making critical decisions about the fate of the nation.
Either way, I chalk this up as a W for Dubya..

10 years ago at 2:01 pmWhen will y’all stop feeding the trolls? Didn’t y’all watch Gremlins.
10 years ago at 11:19 pmI’m gonna take some serious laps but fuck no anyone with a brain knows he put us in a recession
10 years ago at 3:28 pmLace em up guy
10 years ago at 3:32 pmIt’s ok, usually the best presidents are the most hated in office. And I’m getting laps too, but cutting taxes WHILE declaring war on terrorism (which is a pretty broad enemy) AND adding part D to Medicare (the most expensive part) ends up losing us money and was dumb.
10 years ago at 3:50 pmHaha women talking about politics thats classic
10 years ago at 5:05 pmWomen talking politics is a slippery slope man, pretty soon they’ll want to vote.
10 years ago at 10:56 amBush didn’t put us in a recession. You can thank overzealous mortgage companies and financially unresponsible Americans who caused the housing market to hit the shitter. If you well versed in economics you’d know that the housing market is the one market that ties in every other financial marker in the country (people default on the mortgage, bank takes the house, banks left with worthless homes, builders are left with houses they can’t sell, banks have a shortage of loanable funds, without loanable funds there’s no stimulation in the economy). My grandpa’s 2nd wife ( who’s younger than my dad, power move by grandpa) worked for the fed until 2010. According to her, in the last days bush was in office he made some exec desicions which prevented a worldwide economic collapse. There was a lot more to blame than a lame duck president who couldn’t control congress, bc of the overload of Democrats after 2006, which controls fiscal policy but we all know the fed has all the real power anyway, not congress. Put simply, it’s ignorant to blame Dubya.
10 years ago at 3:52 pmWhy isn’t there a character limit for these comments, God damn son
10 years ago at 9:39 amPunctuation saves lives my man. That and you’re wrong.
10 years ago at 4:05 pmI don’t really blame Presidents for putting us in recessions, Presidents have less control over the economy than you think. That’s more Congress and the FED.
10 years ago at 5:27 pmThe president is just a person to pin the blame on. Congress makes the laws. President “passes” them but really it’s all an illusion of choice
10 years ago at 8:44 pmUnless your Obama he uses exec orders all the time

10 years ago at 3:31 pmYou’re better than that.
10 years ago at 3:33 pmI really tried Spongey. I really did. I just don’t know how.
10 years ago at 3:38 pmNo offense to anybody with this, I know who the audience here is… but I do this kind of thing for a living. Statistical analysis of political opinions and whatnot using polling data. The data here doesn’t tell you anything because there isn’t enough of it. I read the original article, abd there’s a reason that when my bosses make decisions, my information gets checked and cross checked against other studies.
10 years ago at 3:32 pmYeah this would be like asking 10 Americans their favorite ice cream… And then declaring Americans don’t like vanilla.
10 years ago at 5:02 pmUsing the data from this study it would seem America doesn’t like chocolate.

10 years ago at 11:17 amLet me start off by saying I too believe Bush to have been a far better president than Obama has been, although Bush was not without his flaws, and Obama is not without his attributes. Obama just has fewer attributes and more flaws. That put out there a poll like this is not really fair perception. The sitting president is almost always going to be more unpopular than the previous one. If you had taken this poll in 2007 I’m sure Clinton would have come out on top of Bush. Take it in a few years and I’d bet whoever is the president then would be less popular than Obama. I think it is sort of a grass is always greener mentality.
10 years ago at 4:00 pmIf only this would have been mentioned in the article…
10 years ago at 6:23 pmHe proposed the Patriot act you White Privileged scum! F off
10 years ago at 11:19 amBush was two weeks away from make us natural gas independent from the middle east, before 9/11. People love to overlook that. fuck liberals, obama and nyc
10 years ago at 4:00 pmJet fuel can’t melt steel beams.
10 years ago at 4:10 pmWith that tin foil hat on, you dont fit so well here.
10 years ago at 4:12 pm1/4 of Americans are retarded.
10 years ago at 8:05 amGo and jump in a lake with your Jade Helm friends.
10 years ago at 4:47 pmAs someone who study’s chemistry jet fuel can’t melt steel beams but it can sure weaken the hell out of it. That along with the additional weight is more than enough to cause the building to collapse. Next time try to be scientifically literate before displaying your ignorance.
10 years ago at 6:11 pm9/11 was bad. Hitler is teaming up with the legion of doom to assassinate Jesus.
10 years ago at 8:42 pmThe conspiracy, which I don’t believe, was that there were basically pools of molten lava that were melted steel beams. And that’s why conspiracists got their panties in bunches.
10 years ago at 10:02 pmYou just proved his point by saying jet fuel can’t melt steel beams… The steel beams were in fact melted which is exactly the point. And have you studied physics? There is no way in nature that a building would fall into its own path of resistance at free fall speed, it is physically impossible because it has hundreds of floors below it. Also, this theory is supported by science all around the world, one of the only countries in the that does not support it is in fact the United States.
10 years ago at 6:18 amI believe you SuM, but how would he have done that? I don’t think I’ve ever heard about it.
10 years ago at 4:59 pmI don’t think we needed a statistical study to try to prove that Bush was better than Obama
10 years ago at 4:14 pmyou’re right, you need like 30
10 years ago at 10:36 pmNo, it just requires a bit of common sense
10 years ago at 7:37 pmJust like your down vote number.
10 years ago at 12:56 amYou guys are fucking retarded. Fuck you simple minded people. Probably believe cops are always right. This is sad. F the South !! #BANTHECONFEDERATEFLAG
10 years ago at 11:15 amBut really the flag is a sign of hatred.
10 years ago at 11:24 amIf you honestly think Bush was a better president than Obama, then you’re an idiot
10 years ago at 10:57 pmthis is such a joke honestly
10 years ago at 5:38 pmDon’t care what any liberals fucking say dubya was the man
10 years ago at 6:17 pmCan I explain why bush was preferred more then Obama? Thanks… It is because when a republican gets a phone call and is asked who he likes better bush or Obama, he answers the question because he actually cares about politics… Now I’m sure if the other 10,000 people that probably hung up and didn’t answer the question are liberals… The reason they hung up is because they don’t care or pay attention to any politics, they just now that Obama wants to legalize weed so they vote for him without paying attention to anything else. That is also why the other 49% probably voted for him…
10 years ago at 7:32 pm49% of Democrats voted for Obama just because he wants to legalize weed? Even you can’t be that ignorant
10 years ago at 9:05 pmhave you been snacking on paint chips?
10 years ago at 10:36 pmObama won the election because over half the population doesn’t have to pay income tax and many rely on welfare and food stamps that likely would’ve been cut back with a Republican in office. Weed? Are you kidding me haha
