Bernie has the highest approval rating of anyone in Government and has had that honor for years and years.

But I heard from people that cannot define communism that Bernie is a communist.

These same people believed Sarah palin was a brilliant person, so I'm a little leery though.

[El Diablo Blanco]

Not shocked.  People are looking at the current options for prez and realize that Obama is a saint compared to them.

Obama is not even close compared to Bernie

I don't think Sarah Palin considers Sarah Palin to be a brilliant person.  The only people dumber than Sarah are those that support her.

Who did they poll on this? Haha

Palin is in arcadia, FL, campaigning for Trump.

These are people that still live in shacks.  Literally.  Hurricane charlie wrecked the place 12 years ago and they're still in their free fema trailers.   there are still poles and trees knocked down from 2004... they just let shit grow over it.

however, the vote of the super dumb palin supporters in backwoods, FL, matters just as much as the highly educated vote.  So I cannot blame her for scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Arcadia = drive past the stupidest people you've ever seen, drive past 5 miles of crap, and voila, that's arcadia.  Trump plugged her into hillbilly alligator country.

Woah really?

[The True Adonis]

Woah really?

Yep.  Over 80 percent for decades.

[Dos Equis]

Is that the approval rating by the people in his district? 

[headhuntersix]

Yeah cause people in lower Delaware have heard of Bernie fucking sanders prior to 6 months ago. Obama's approval rating always go up when either its July, nothing is going on...or something huge is going on he's not involved in. Nobody cares and he's not currently fucking things up...

Yes among his voters....

The veteran lawmaker, who is also a Democratic candidate for president, scored an 83 percent approval rating among voters in Vermont.
His 13 percent disapproval rating also ranks as the lowest in the country.
Sanders's closest rival for the top spot among Democrats is fellow Vermonter Sen. Patrick Leahy, who received a commendable 71 percent approval rating with just 22 percent of voters disapproving of his performance.

The most popular Republican senator, among the GOP 2016 field, is Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Fifty-two percent of Texans approve of his work in Congress, while 32 disapprove.

Cruz is closely followed by Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) with 51 percent approval; Marco Rubio (Fla.) with 50 percent approval; and Rand Paul (Ky.) with 48 percent approval.

Thanks.  Pretty small sample.  He was making it sound like it was a national approval rating.

There is not a single person in Government more honest and trustworthy than Sanders.

Can you name anyone else?

Your poll is pretty insignificant.  Context is key.

Context?  How about no matter what office Bernie has held he has always had an 80 plus approval rating.  Can anyone else say that?

Yes, context.  Sample size matters.  And who cares if his approval rating among a comparative handful of constituents is high?  His policies stink.

Obama is at 51% today in Gallup national.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/113980/gallup-daily-obama-job-approval.aspx

it was creible when he was 39%.  Same metrics today.

Obama is growing more popular... why?  I think it's because he's compared to trump, and next to trump, obama looks like a grown up, respected and professional.  He hasn't talked about cawk size or called for killing families or terrists!

[Dos Equis]

Is anyone questioning whether he actually believes in what he is advocating? 

[headhuntersix]

First off...Matt Fucking Taibbi...really...that's like saying William F Buckley thinks Reagan is great..no shit! Obama is at 51% because nobody is paying any attention there 240..we have two big races and that's the focus. Good let douchbag drift off into the sunset.

Obama is at 51% because nobody is paying any attention there 240..

BBC has accused Trump of making explosive statements ON PURPOSE to minimize the impact of negative stories about democrats - hilary AND obama.

Trump's comments about muslims actually helped obama, who stepped in shit a day earlier.
