No, you are wrong

and here is the average approval rating of Obama
Presidential Approval Ratings -- Barack Obama | Gallup Historical Data & Trends
it's 47% which is just above Carter and lower than both Bushes, Clinton, Reagan
That's recent history |
So, going by your page of "modern times.... Obama has an "average approval rating" of 49%.
Which is the same or better as...
Bush 49%
Carter 45%
Ford 47%
Nixon 49%
So if you change the basic requirement of "all time average" and then compare it to other modern day presidents, Obama is equal to or better than four other Presidents, none of whom had to face the economic disaster Obama has faced?
Then compare his low to the other lows....
Obama 41%
Bush 22%
Clinton 38%
Bush 29%
Reagan 35%
Carter 38%
Ford 37%
Nixon 24%
Johnson 35%
