Current Event #4

The article I read is called Hillary Clinton Now More Popular Than Barack Obama from the Washington Post. Basically, it talks about how the image of Barack Obama has changed over this period of time that he became president, contrasting the image of Hillary Clinton at the same time.

Even though this article says Obama’s presidential job approval rating has increased after he won the Nobel Prize this survey was made before he got it.

We can see in percentage how Hillary Clinton has increased her favorable rating having the best favorable ranking rank within 17 years.

I think it is pretty interesting they way it turns. As we all know Obama won as the representative of Democrats because people wanted him. It is common that people make up their minds and think differently over a period of time. I think the reason why Hillary Clinton is more popular than Barack Obama is simple; she is not the president, she did not take such important decisions as the president does. I think the percentage would be really different if she would be the president of the United States. People change their minds all the time, so basically what we have here is a group of humans who did not like some of the Obama’s decisions; so now they think Hillary would be the best choice instead of Obama.
