President Donald Trump’s latest Twitter target — his predecessor in the White House — is more popular than he is.
A POLITICO/Morning Consult poll last month found 55 percent of registered voters had a favorable opinion of former President Barack Obama, greater than the 42 percent who viewed Obama unfavorably.
Obama’s average favorable rating, according to HuffPost Pollster, is 57 percent, and his unfavorable rating is 39 percent.

But that’s actually much better than his average ratings, according to HuffPost Pollster, which has Trump at 42 percent favorable and 51 percent unfavorable.
