In words of Lloyd Bentsen:
"I served with Ronald Reagan. I knew Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan was a friend of mine. Papa Obama, you're no Ronald Reagan.
Carter was higher at this point than Papa Obama- much better comparison

Many presidents do what they see as needing done, but is unpopular in the first part of their term. they then can 'suck up' to the electorate the rest of their term. (ok, might not be the best choice of words)
So far he isn't my favorite president, but it's too soon to say he will always be unpopular.
he could become the most popular president ever, or he could be the most unpopular, only time will tell.

a 50% approval rating isn't "unpopular"

Gallup: Obama Begins 2nd Year w/Highest Disapproval Rating in Modern Era
Posted by Tom Bevan | Email This | Permalink | Email Author
According to Gallup's first full data set for 2010, Barack Obama starts his second year in office with the highest disapproval rating of any President since Eisenhower. Obama begins 2010 with 44% of the public disapproving of the job he's doing as president. That's four points higher than the next closest president (Reagan), six points higher than Bill Clinton, and 17 points higher than Jimmy Carter.
As you can see from Gallup's graphic below, Obama also begins his second year in office with the second worst job approval rating of any president in the last 56 years:
Second worst. Reagan only had a 49% approval rating, compared to Obama's 50% aproval rating.
Given the hate campaign by the wingnuts, it is surprising that President Obama's rating is that high.
Now if the economy recovers significantly by November, you may see a real pleasant surprise for President Obama and the Democrats.
