Trump Is A Reminder That Obama Has Made America Greater
By Matt O'Brien July 26
He definitely got a bump from from the Republican National Convention. And by he, I mean President Obama.
At the beginning of the Gathering of the Trumppalos in Cleveland, the presidents approval rating had sunk below 50 percent in Gallups daily tracking poll, an unusual occurrence this year, with only a +2 margin over his disapproval rating at 47 percent.
Two weeks later, the president is back at 54 percent, with a 12 percent margin, and probably wishes there could be alternating Republican and Democratic conventions for the rest of the year. Its hard to say what did more to improve President Obamas image:
Was it the parade of D-level conservative talent in Cleveland followed by Donald Trump ranting for 76 minutes about how he alone can fix an America unrecognizable to those of us who realize that, under Obama, crime has gone down by about a fifth, the stock market has more than doubled, layoffs per capita are at an all-time low, and total employment is at an all-time high?
