Hume fails to note a most salient point when comparing Obama's ratings with those of both Nixon and Bush. The latter two were constantly and relentlessly pilloried by Liberal MSM for years. No wonder their approval ratings suffered. Obama, otoh, has been protected and coddled by that same press for all his five years in office. They would cover up the ObamaCare disaster if they could, as they have Benghazi, Fast & Furious, etc., but it's just too big and too public. In addition I think his Highness's approval rating is actually lower than 43%.
