President Obama Approval Rate


This morning I was reading on the fivethirtyeight site an interesting section dedicated to the US elections. It tries to predict who will win the election based on the polls and historical data. They have been very accurate in the past, so it is definitely an interesting source.

One of the articles linked on this site was a post titled "Why Obama Might Be Trump's Biggest Challenge," which discussed how President Obama is enjoying a high approval rate. The chart above is generated with the >>>Real Politics>"http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president_obama_job_approval-1044.html" data they were mentioning in the post.

Nice picture in the Lustgarten


Last weekend on a sleepless night I set up the site pics.inberl.in to check the different pictures I have been taking in the city. When I was browsing through my collection, I found this cool photo I took in my first weeks in Berlin at the Lustgarten. I'm proud of the composition.
