In his weekly presidential report card, pollster John Zogby finds that the vacationing President Obama remains a sidebar to other major headlines as he golfs on Martha’s Vineyard.
“The president is still on vacation and so is news coverage focusing on him. Major news this week was Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, the stock market and the Federal Reserve, the ousted Greek prime minister, wildfires, and the female ‘Viagra’ pill.
“The week ends with serious questions about a full stock market collapse and a global economic disaster.
“So I will give him a C because those jitters are very real even though the major collapse hasn’t happened.”
Grade — C
Down from last week’s B
