President Obama is just average.
At least by the standard of approval ratings.
Though Obama's job approval score is strong and has been since he took office, historical polling data shows Obama's popularity during his first 100 days is right in the middle of the scores other new presidents received from the public over the past 60 years.
Obama's 63 percent average, according to a study released by Gallup last month, is the highest for a new president since Jimmy Carter (he clocked in at 69 percent during his first 100 days).
But John F. Kennedy bested Obama by more than 10 points, with 74 percent. Dwight Eisenhower enjoyed a 71 percent rating early on.

He’s only popular in the media.
Considering the promises he made and the expectations he encouraged...he’s got nowhere to go but down!!!
He’s also a legend in his own mind!;-)
Yes he is.
Average scores for a below-average man.
The popularity comparison with Jimmy Carter is a bad omen for Obama.
Gallup has him even lower among recent presidents, he is only higher than disgraced ex-president and accused rapist bill clinton:
Reagan 67
Carter 63
Bush2 62
Nixon 61
Bush 58
Obama 56
Clinton 55

WOW, thanks for the info.
He’s very popular with our media and scholarly elite. And theirs are the only votes that matter. :)
And don’t forget the word “impeached”. As bad as Billy Jeffs was/is, I’d take him over this putz any day of the week. Sad, actually.
Fox is one of the small handful of honest media outlets.
Fox actually does investigative reporting, something totally lost asn the MSNBCCNNABCNBCCBS tout endless deceitful propaganda that
MSNBCCNNABCNBCCBS=reporters gets news from other reporters never mind thee facts.
Obama has been nothing more than a media creation from day one.
The media supports Obama more than he supports himself and they will continue to do so. That is the simplest way I can put it.
Imagine what his score would be if the treason media told the truth about him even half the time.
Around here he is on par with stepping in dog pooh.
Presidents always get an early honeymoon when the public as a whole is willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. In todays tough times that honeymoon will be very short indeed. If the economy still stinks in a year I bet Obama has 30% approval ratings.
If that happens the Liberal Advocacy Networks will start talking about how racism is very much alive and will be the reason for his drop in popularity.
