If it was Obama vs. Trump in the election

Do you think it would be as close as it is now with Hillary?

I don't think so. I think Obama would be up fairly big on Trump. I'm betting that Hillary is just so unlikeable and slimy that it turns a lot of voters off. Like or dislike Obama's policies, he's still a respectable and likeable figure.

She should still win because Trump is just so awful, but it shouldn't be this close.

Wasnt there some stats a while back which showed that if Obama was still an option, people would have voted for him?

it would be about the same no matter who is the republican or democrat. This idea that you'd change your world views based on the candidate is nonsense ( conservatism vs liberalism.. pro-life vs pro-choice etc etc etc is set in stone)

And let me remind you, that according to these bords, when a poll was did for trump vs hillary support, It came out Equal. I'd support trump anyday over that fucking hack of a hillary. I'll take my chances thank you.

A third Obama term would blow Trump out of the freaking water.

Obama would easily win a third term

Obama never went bankrupt. Unless you count the country. Or obamacare as a business model. In fact, they both suck. Probably Obama just cause of all the white guilt votes.

I would certainly hope that Obama would be blowing Trump out of the water right now. Him and Biden are a pretty good duo, going to miss those guys.

This has been Obama's average approval ratings for 2016.

And this is is current average. I think it's fair to say people feel pretty good about the president overall.

Obama would beat him harder than he beat McCain and would almost certainly do better than Hillary.

Can you imagine the debates? Trump would look even more inept and completely outclassed on every policy issue.

I'd rather have Obama be given a third term over Trump/Hillary. I think Obama doesn't even want to be president and is looking forward to play some more golf. I'm just happy that Obama hasn't sent a large group of our troops for an unnecessary war.

I said at the beginning of the primaries that if Obama could run again, he would win by a landslide.

I'm going to miss Obama so much. These two idiots who are running now are going to damage the United States either way it goes down. Obviously our ruin will be much more assured and quicker with Trump but does it really matter? I guess there is a chance Hilary won't change much of what Obama has established. That is my most fervent hope anyway. But there are a lot of idiots coming out of the woodwork with Trump running who have never voted before and I doubt they would care much for Obama if he was also running so the situation would probably be somewhat similar. Trump really speaks to the uneducated conspiracy theory types. Who ever knew there were so many of them? I guess the crazier element of this forum knew they were out there but the rest of us refused to believe it! Can we be blamed for our willful ignorance about the high density of morons in the USA?

Obama against Trump?

Obama would win by 10-20%, at least

It would probably be a landslide popular vote win for Obama but polarization may have prevent it from being a landslide. There's still a tiny chance hilary will win this election in a landslide.

Obama is a far more competent politician than Hilary. He would smash Trump. He is really good at spouting high minded rhetoric without saying ANYTHING AT ALL.
