The worst President

Post by _subgenius »

More Americans consider Barack Obama to be the worst President since World War II than they do any other president, according to a new poll.

The Quinnipiac poll out Wednesday found that 33% of Americans see Obama as the worst post-war president, while just 8% consider him the best. Another 28% see former President George W. Bush as the worst. Richard Nixon, the only American President ever to resign in disgrace, was picked the worst by 13%, according to the poll.

And 45% of Americans think the U.S. would be better off if Mitt Romney had been elected President in 2012, according to the poll, while 38% think the country would be worse off.

What are you the bait and switch team? Drawing attention away from the current pressing issue?

... the poll was conducted by Quinnipiac University and released on 2 July 2014, information which was rarely (if ever) noted in mid-2018 postings about it. Also unnoted was the fact that the same independent polling site conducted a poll on the same question in March 2018 (which as of June 2018 would actually be considered “new” and “recent”) and found that Donald Trump had eclipsed Barack Obama as the worst president since World War II.

Seems like a legit story to post.

Oh yes. But if you post a slab of text on a Friday in 2019, referring to a poll

with no link to the original source, then you are in effect lying to your readers by setting up a situation where they are led to believe that the poll is a very recent one, whereas in fact it dates from 2014, not 2019.

And given subgenus's posting habits, that looks deliberate.
