President Donald Trump is obsessed with former President Barack Obama.
For years, Trump peddled racist conspiracy theories that Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States. When Obama made his birth certificate public, Trump claimed it was a fabrication.
Even now that Trump has become Obama's successor, he still blames Obama for nearly every failure of the Trump administration, and takes credit for every achievement of the Obama administration, such as Obama's economy and Veterans Choice legislation.

Trump began flinging allegations about "Obamagate"—despite being unable to list a specific crime committed by the President.

The poll of over 1200 voters consisted of 41 percent Democrats, 36 percent Republicans, and 23 percent Independents.

Though Obama handily beats Trump people still felt 43 percent support for the current President was too much.

Obama's win in the poll could mean good things for his former Vice President and likely 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden in November—but only if people vote.
Obama's memoir, The Audacity of Hope, is available here.
