THE "FAILED" OBAMA PRESIDENCY

Obama job approval ratings, ABC/Washington Post poll conducted September 10-12, 2009:

Approve: 54%
Disapprove: 43%
No opinion: 3%

Bush job approval ratings, ABC/Washington Post poll conducted September 6-9, 2001:

Approve: 55%
Disapprove: 41%
No opinion: 3%

That's in much, much harder times, which inevitably lower the approval ratings of politicians.

That's while being attacked as the equivalent of every mortal, fictional, and supernatural monster who ever lived.
