As President Obama left the White House, the mainstream press was falling over itself proclaiming how popular he was.

"Obama leaving office on a very high note," was a typical headline.

Yet despite the media's fixation with polls, the press completely buried one of the more newsworthy poll findings — a Gallup report that came out last Friday, which took a final look at the President Obama's popularity over his eight years in office.

That poll found that Obama's overall average approval rating was a dismal 47.9%.

Only three presidents scored worse than Obama since Gallup started doing these surveys in 1945: never-elected Gerald Ford (47.2%), one-termer Jimmy Carter (45.4%), and Harry Truman (45.4%).

Obama even did worse overall than Richard Nixon, whose average approval was 49%, and was less popular overall than George W. Bush, who got an average 49.4%...

Well, he was a historically bad president. If he hadn’t had the press propping him up he’d have been in the 30s.

Curious to see this poll in November 2020 when Trump is voted out. That is if he's not impeached first.
 
Who gives a shit about average, during term, popularity?

It is how history judges your time in office after the fact that really matters.

Lincoln was pretty widely hated and ridiculed while in office, but historically he became considered one of the top, if not the top president.

From your own citation:
  • Only Truman, Ford, Carter had lower averages as president
  • Final job approval rating of 59% among the highest for presidents
  • Obama ratings avoided extreme highs, lows
Despite subpar approval ratings for much of his presidency, Obama finished strong. His final job approval rating, based on Jan. 17-19 Gallup Daily tracking, was 59%. Only Clinton (66%) and Reagan (63%) had higher scores in Gallup's last measurement of their approval ratings, while Eisenhower (59%) and Kennedy (58%) had similar final ratings.

Thanks for the opportunity to remember how President Obama finished as one of the most popular Presidents in history.
 
What do I think? I think you're trying to bump up your own lame thread on a topic that flamed out awhile ago. Maybe you should go complain about it to the Mods :D

I know, right? They won't start a thread on how toenail fungus was more popular than their last President.

After Obama lost Democrats 1,050 seats I too gave him a high job approval rating.

Clearly, you aren't getting this. The rankings show overall average ratings for entire Presidencies.

It's about history?
What's Obama's legacy?

  1. You can keep your doctor.
  2. $2,500 a year savings in healthcare costs.
  3. We did not pay a ransom to Iran.
  4. This deal will keep Iran from obtains nuclear weapons.
  5. Golfing during major crisis situations.
  6. Dividing America to historical level tensions.
  7. Starting wars with two sovereign nations without Congressional approval that posed no threat to US
  8. Letting ISIS start and mature into an international terrorist group.
  9. Routine Islamic terrorist attacks in America under his watch.
  10. Alienating all of our traditional allies.
  11. Losing Iraq and Afghanistan after he declared victory.
  12. The spiking of major crimes under his watch.
  13. The jobless and wage falling recovery that is longest in history.
  14. Forcing girls to accept men into their school bathrooms and showers.
  15. Inability to state who is conducting terrorism.
  16. Using the IRS as a political weapon.
  17. Alepo
  18. Race relations.
 
A meaningless fact with an Alt Right factoid spin.

But if you want to go with that as a measure of a president's goodness, Kennedy and Eisenhower, far to the left of our modern day GOP, were great successes.
