Oh Snap! Hillary More Popular Than Obama

101509hillaryclinton.jpg Even though Obama whupped Hillary in the primaries last year, a Gallup Poll conducted from Oct. 1-4 shows that our Secretary of State is currently more popular than our peace-loving President, with a 62% approval rating over his 56%. Though Hillary's numbers have not changed much since January, Obama's popularity has been on a steady decline. And now we wait for Tracy Morgan's opinion.

If she were president, she'd probably be around 40%.

Exactly. The only reason her approval is higher than his right now, is because she's not president.

SNAP!

Even though Obama whupped Hillary in the primaries last year

Really? Whupped? I seem to recall the race dragging on until June.

Oh, it dragged on all right. But there was no mathematical hope of her winning after March.

reason: the conservative media bias stopped focussing on hillary.

Didn't she just announce her disinterest in running for the presidency in 2012?

Good point! Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

If anything motivates Obama it has to be the thought that if he fucks up, Hillary's gonna primary his ass.

Reason: Obama acted stupidly in criticizing Cambridge PD without knowing what happened

But how's Bill's ratings doing? He's got to be up in the 90's still after the North Korean thing.
