Main Street saying Obama to Clinton will suck...
Not sure which 'main street' you're referring to, but a wider sampling of opinion than your 'anecdotal' shows:
Quote:
As President Barack Obama prepares to help Hillary Clinton close out the campaign and slam the door shut on a Donald Trump presidency, his approval rating is hitting new highs.
According to the latest CNN poll, Obama’s approval rating hit 55 percent – the highest of his second year and the best rating he’s received since his first year as president. Among independents, a key voting bloc, Obama’s approval rating is even higher at 56 percent.
Obama’s full-time entrance into the campaign arena comes at a perfect time. Not only has the Trump campaign been stumbling badly since his poor performance at the first presidential debate, but Clinton’s poll numbers nationally and in key swing states are rising.
According to FiveThirtyEight’s latest forecast, Clinton has a 75 percent chance of beating Trump on Election Day.
With Trump falling and Clinton rising, Obama will seek to effectively block the unfit Republican nominee from the presidency for good by touting his record as president and promoting the current Democratic nominee as the candidate who will be able to preserve it and expand on it.
As Democratic strategist Brad Bannon said, “Hillary Clinton is ahead as we go into the ninth inning, and it’s time to bring in the big guy, Barack Obama.”
While former Republican presidents and nominees have refused to throw their support behind their own nominee, the Democratic nominee will have a popular outgoing president by her side to close out the campaign and bring home a victory.
