52% of Americans want Obama back as President and 40 % want Trump impeached , poll

Obama-TrumpDonald Trump has been President for 13 days and yet more than half of Americans are missing former President Barack Obama, according to a new poll.

A total of 52 per cent of Americans are yearning for Mr Obama, found a survey from Public Policy Polling, while just 43 per cent are glad that Mr Trump is in the White House.

Furthermore, 40 per cent want the new President to be impeached, up from 35 per cent one week ago.

More than 500,000 people have also signed up to a petition by campaign group Impeach Trump Now on the basis that he has not taken a far enough step away from his real estate empire whilst in government.

Despite winning the electoral college, Mr Trump   lost the popular vote by close to three million votes and is already suffering the lowest popularity ratings in contemporary American history.

The low numbers come down to opposition to his policies.

Only a quarter of Americans (26 per cent) were in favour of the Muslim ban, the executiveorder which barred nearly all travellers from seven Muslim-majority countries for at least 90 days.

The President’s signature campaign pledge, to repeal and replace Obamacare, has become increasingly unpopular. Just 41 per cent of voters are against the Affordable Care Act.


His unpopular policies started early. On Inauguration day he demanded to know why the National Park Service had tweeted pictures of relatively small crowd sizes at his swearing in ceremony compared to Mr Obama’s, and then censored the government agency’s social media access. Just 30 per cent of voters approved of that plan.

His chief strategist and Breitbart founder Steve Bannon has very low support of 19 per cent of voters. Just over one third of those polled think it was a good idea for Mr Bannon to become a permanent member of the National Security Council.

The poll surveyed 725 registered voters between 30 and 31 January with 80 per cent of them participating through land line telephones. The margin of error was 3.6 per cent.

  1. It is a circus

    1. Ha ha.. a global circus mess.

      1. Some idiots wanted change “be careful what you wish for” – I smell the stench of war coming out of the White House or shall I say Kremlin West Wing post !

    2. It’s a funny farm.

  2. The Louvre terrorist attack identified as Abdullah Reda al-Hamamy, a 29-year-old Egyptian born in Dakahlia, a province northeast of Cairo, who was living in the United Arab Emirates.
    “Following the attack on Friday morning US President Donald Trump cited it as justification for his controversial ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries entering the US – but neither Egypt or Dubai are on Mr Trump’s list of banned countries. It is unknown at this moment if Trump will expand the list to include these two countries upon learning of the suspect’s origins.

    1. The list will expand to include the US too . Trump wants the Americans to stay in the USA because he is worried that his travel ban will make it very risky for the Americans to travel , Besides since his motto is “America first ” he wants the Americans to spend all their money in the US.

  3. I think Trump will be better off moving from the White House to the Kremlin . The polls there will be reversed ….they love him over there. If he gets tired of being with Putin all day long he can join Edward Snowden. In any case America has had enough of Trump in 2 weeks , can anyone imagine what would it be like in 4 years?

    Yeah, and Hillary has a 90% chance of winning.

  5. Next week it will more than 50 per cent that want the new President to be impeached, let’s hope that it will finally be done.

  6. How many Americans want Reagan/JFK/Abraham Lincoln back?
