American politics: A Russians view

From "Yes We Can" to "No We Can't"

12.10.2010

41966.jpegApparently, it is very difficult for Americans to understand which qualities their president should have. Opinion polls show that most US citizens estimate the work of Barack Obama and his predecessor George W. Bush equally. Since the two presidents seem to be the same for the voters, it is highly possible that the Oval Office of the White House will be taken by someone else in 2012.

CNN/Opinion Research Corporation conducted a poll trying to find out who of the two presidents is better and weather the Americans regret the choice that they made in 2008. The sitting president was obviously the leader a year ago and had the advantage of 23 percent of votes over George Bush. Nowadays, Obama is only two percent ahead of his former colleague: 47 percent of the polled said that Obama could handle his job better than his predecessor did. Fifty percent of respondents believe that they had made the right choice when they voted against Republican candidate John McCain.
