Today, Gallup released a poll about President Barack Obama’s approval ratings. The results are shocking. President Obama has the most polarizing second-year approval rating since President Eisenhower.
Gallup conducted a review that researched the partisan approval gap between Democrats and Republicans. The result was a sixty-eight percent approval gap. This is the greatest gap since 1953. The closest President to Obama was President Regan. Regan’s approval gap was fifty-six percent.
The good news is that many of the Presidents who had smaller percentage gaps are not viewed as highly successful Presidents, whereas many argue Ronald Reagan was, at the least, highly affective. Maybe such high levels of disapproval means that President Obama is doing his job correctly and providing what he promised: change. And we all know, many are resistant to change.
