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.

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

  • douchebag5000

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

  • oprice

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

  • NannyState

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

  • NYCSniper

    Good point! Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

  • imadick

    reason: the conservative media bias stopped focussing on hillary.

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

  • zpk

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

  • zpk

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

  • HOTCUP

    truth here.

  • butterbutter

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



    SNAP!
