Barack Obama Just Keeps Getting More Popular

[procon]

Most of the nation now approves of the president’s job performance.

While Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are battling to get into the White House, its current occupant is seeing his numbers continue to climb.

A new Monmouth University survey out Wednesday gives President Barack Obama a 56 percent approval rating, up 7 points since July.

...

How the nation sees Obama matters for reasons beyond his legacy. Views of the incumbent president and the state of the economy have traditionally been a strong predictor of which party’s nominee will replace him.

7. I think

I think, and this is just specualtion, but some of the people who were on the fence or disapproved of the job Obama was doing are now approving b/c they dont like either Hillary or Trump and he looks more appealing in comparison. I dont think its just coincidence he went up by 7 points in a month after the conventions.
