Is Obama a one term Prez?

[SHOOTALL]

so Slim is that stupidity of voters or lies on their part ?

I saw that this morning on Good morning America. They said that Obama was the most looked up to male and I think they said Bill Clinton was the second. Then they said as far as women goes Hillary Clinton was number 1 Sarah Palin 2nd and Oprha was 3rd. I can't believe anyone would look up to any of them. That just shows who our youths role models because I don't think adults look up to other adults. They may envy or respect other adults but not look up to. Take care Dale

I think they are just looking up to an image. They really have no idea what effect these people have.

I don't think they are that smart , they just pick names at random , it had to be multi. choice . Wonder how many picked all of the above

Considering the fact I really can't find anyone that looks up to Obama...I have to wonder where they got their info.  I have run into people that are sorry they voted for him, and are a bit embarrassed.  I must live in the wrong place to hear these things.  Clinton is still the butt of jokes in these parts as well. 

I guess polls can be sent to whoever, and worded any way they want to get any result they want.

Well this am on the radio they said some poll was taken and Obama was the most liked man in America. H. Clinton was the best liked woman. I'm telling ya'll We the people are a strange lot in some places.

He was most liked for the 3rd year in a row.

He's probably also the most widely despised, but they ain't-a gonna tell you that, are they?

Widely despised by the far right for a fact who, by the way, are widely out of step with mainstream Americans.

Rasmussen tracks strong disapproval and it hovers around 40%. Strong approval hovers around 25%.

He didn't make his first term on the back of my vote and he hasn't done anything to endear himself to me since he took office.  This is the nicest thing I have to say, so I'll leave it at that. - EJ

No one asked me.  Who conducted the poll?

Basic statistics.  To get a representative sample of a group you don't ask the entire group.  You don't even need to ask that large a number of people of a group.  As long as they were randomly polled from multiple locations you wouldn't likely need to ask more than a few thousand people out of the entire population to get a representative sample.  The margin of that method drops mighty quickly as the sample size inches upwards. 

During the last presidential election, due to the incredibly long lines, I even hard some people suggest that we use this method for voting.  A random sample of people would be selected to vote and the outcome would depend on the sampling.  While I don't like that idea at all (it's just too open to abuse, and even if it were perfect, something just wouldn't feel right about everybody not having a vote), but the fact remains: you take a fair small, random fraction of a population and results within that fraction will typically mirror that of the whole.

That would make it easier to get the results desired . Now they have to play with district lines to get the votes like they want them.
