And so what? I imagine most Senators are more popular in their home states than the President is. After all, Presidents have to make much, much tougher calls all the time.
As a Bay State resident I can tell you that Obama is for the most part quite well thought of in this state, as is Warren.

Must include Republicans in the sampling. But hey. Nothing against their awesome Senator, but one state does not a national candidate make. Obamaās name recognition and track records over the last decade make him a bigger target.

I, too, am a Bay State resident, and you said almost exactly what I was going to say. I tend to think in any event that polls underestimate such things as presidential approval, since angrier and older (therefore more conservative) people are more likely to answer the phone to pollsters. Obamaās approval ratings in the summer of 2011 were worse than they are now, and we know what happened in 2012.

Duh-uh!
(Probably half of Obamaās unfavorables are liberals who donāt think heās gone far enough or been tough enough on the Republicans.)

Thatās nothing. How does she stack up against Ted Williams? Has she ever hit a home run in the Big Leagues? I thought not!

Local politician more popular than national politician. Film at 11.

exactly. Warren is far more of a progressive than Obama. The rightās rants of him being an āultra-leftistā are hilariously unhinged.

If you do the math, youāll find that only a small % of Obamaās unfavorables come from liberals, and only a small % of liberals have an unfavorable opinion of Obama.
There is a segment of self-described liberals who have an unfavorable opinion, but itās small and not particularly important.
This is the president that brought out the insane side of the GOP for all to see. Ask the GOP if he āhasnāt been tough on them.ā
This is the president who accomplished health reform.
This is the president who not only passed the stimulus to stem the financial hemorrhaging, but has now brought employment back to 2008 pre-meltdown levels.
This is the president who got the car makers to agree to better gas mileage standards.
This is the president who has addressed and implemented milestone climate change regulations.
And this is the president who picked Elizabeth Warren to create the CFPC.
But no, gee, he really hasnāt done much along progressive lines, has he?

Why? Because she only has one issue that she addresses, right? And who picked her to be the spokesperson for that issue in reconstructing the governmentās treatment of consumer financial institutions.

I voted for Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey. Then I moved to Vermont where I will vote for
Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy when the time comes. Because of my recent move I will have
the very unique opportunity of being able to vote for all four of the most progressive members
of the The Senate, itās kind of cool

Correct me if Iām wrong but Obama isnāt running for anything and Warren certainly will be. So this is a story w/o a point.
That is cool. When I lived in Vermont we had George Aiken in the senate. A republican I could wholeheartedly support! That was cool, too.
