President Obama's approval rating averaged 47% in May. Lower than all but two of the last eleven presidents. The top three over the last 70 years are Kennedy, Eisenhower and H.W.Bush...
Of course Obama's numbers could change either way compared to these static numbers below, but this comparison is interesting and can give a different perspective.
