Actually, Obama was below average for approval ratings. ( Maybe a sign of today’s polarized politics. )

The average approval rating is 52.

Obamas first term was 49, his second term was 47.

Personally, I disliked some of his policies but thought he was a great orator, one of the best of our times.
