Wow, Truman was worse than Carter. I wasn't alive then, but I had heard there were a lot of folks less than chuffed with Harry.

averages can be deceiving. w got approval ratings of 90+ % in the weeks following 9/11 and steadily went down afterwards. his second term average was in the mid-high 30s.

w left office with approval ratings in the 20's-30's depending on the poll you use for reference. obama will leave office with approval ratings over 50%.

I think the polling science needs another look. It seems that some polls show one thing when reality is another. Not so much about POTUS but the election polls were waaaay offff.

It's like with any "polling" or "survey". They survey between 1,000-2,000 people then take the answers from those and project it across a much larger group of people. There's a lot of assumptions built in to the polls/surveys.

Obama is able to polish his (poop) of a record a bit because he is neither Hillary nor Trump. Considering the short attention span of those polled, before too long Obama will have been deemed to have achieved something worthwhile in the last eight years.
