3. Bingo. You nailed it. His "base."

Absolutely the first thing I thought of. Bush's "Pioneers" and similar who care nothing about our country except how they can line their pockets. Four percent sounds just about right.

4. I would guess those 4% that says things are better, are people

that are making a ton of money off of junior's policies. IOW, they are probably good friends of the crime cabal.

47% say things are the same?

This is a bullshit poll that makes junior look better than he indeed is.

6. wait...

if 47% say things are the same, and his approval is in the range of 29%, how did he get elected again? I would expect about 60+% of people to say worse.

7. It depends on what your definition of "better performance" is.

If I was a rich upper-10 percenter, I would say he is doing a great job. Of course now, even the top ten percent is starting to get gobbled up and devoured by the top one percent, as the recent binge of mega-mergers has shown.
