results from the poll the year after election

2017 Jan 31 - Feb 2, 46% 53% Obama --> Trump

2013 Jan 14-15, 49% 51% Obama --> Obama

2009 Feb 18-19 21% 79% Bush --> Obama

2005 Jan 7-9 58 41 Bush-->Bush

2001 Feb 7-8 71 28 Clinton -->Bush



I can't imagine the country being at 71% positive anymore.

R u reading that as the incumbent has something to do with those numbers so quickly or a result of the past potus? It appears as if Trump has raised the spirits of the voters the way that is laid out.

no, sorry I hate tables.

Thats the total positive and total negative in the country as close to the inauguration (but not before it) each time.
So in this year's case the country right now is at a 46 positive or very positive and 53 negative or very negative.

When Pres Obama took over from Pres Bush at the same time frame, the country was 21 positive, and 79 negative, and through his two terms he did bring it up and it has hovered around 50/50 through the last 8 years.

But after Clinton's 2 terms leading into Bush's first term, the country was 71% positive - those are days I miss, when not every story was a negative bashing the other side relentlessy.

Trump is a lightning rod, and he wants to be. For whatever reason. This time is different on every level. The bashing is no coincidence. His backers have his back at any cost, and his doubters look for every reason to doubt. Both sides need to take a deep breath and step back. However every time you think things are settling down he does something cra cra. Its like he craves the madness. I don't get it.
