Obama is an Elder Statesman. Trump is a lame-duck sore loser. Trump is more admired. Why? Hhoowhyy?
One factor, I think, might be Obama's latest book. (Another factor is Mrs Obama's book, a sort of Qur'...aaan which we're all supposed to display prominently or else be called names. Some of us resent, as with the Quran, not so much its unedifying text, as the Quran-like public piety thereupon.) Mr Obama has always looked good on camera and he usually sounds good when he's reading someone else's words. But when Obama speaks for himself, he reveals a petty and nasty soul.
I'll hasten to concede that I don't mind the nasty. Some of Obama's targets deserve it. Sarah Palin late-2008-edition deserved it. Her base of hypocrites, also, deserve that Obama called them out for practicing white affirmative-action.
Still: Obama holds a deep contempt for whites, deserved or not, and whites aren't convinced they deserve this contempt, from him in particular. Where whites make a large part of American demographics, losing them means losing points in popularity contests. Even against such a man as Trump. To the extent Trump is the huwite candidate... especially against such.
