PDQ - "Another factless statement from someone who doesn't ever bother to look farther than his prejudices for answers." and "Reagan had about 2/3 of the people on his side most of the time, and left with a big smile and a happy electorate."

Here are some Gallup poll numbers that compare Reagans and Obamas number from their second years in office. Reagans highest yearly rating was 60 percent.

"By the end of 1981, Reagan's job approval rating had drifted down to 49%. Things got worse for Reagan in 1982. The public's view of the economy remained sour, and the president's ratings during 1982 stayed concomitantly low, in the 40% range, ending the year at 41%."
