When Truman left office, he had some pretty low approval ratings. In fact, seems he had the lowest approval rating ever - worse than Nixon. He dropped atomic bombs on Japan, saw the end of WWII, the Marshal plan, etc etc - just a very busy period in history from the American standpoint. Now he's considered one of the top 10 US presidents of all time.
This all goes back to my concept about how you cannot judge a sitting president. It's not until ten years later that we begin to understand the complete impact any one president had on the US or world history.
