Fictional TV presidents more popular than Obama: poll

Palmer 2016

Putin, a real-life president, is also far more popular than Obahma

"There was one result from the online poll, conducted from March 5 to 19, that could give some solace to Obama: He is more popular with Americans than Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Seventy-six percent of Americans had an unfavorable view of Putin, according to the poll, while 24% were favorable."

However, among Russians, Putin has a far higher approval rating than Obama does among Americans.

TV drama and real life politics? There is an old cliche about oil and water to say how dissimilar these are. Now back to your regularly scheduled CM.

The key word here is "fictional" . Let anyone try the real gig for a dose of reality !
