Lets Get Real:
Lets look how other 2nd Term Presidents stood at this time in Office, President Reagan had a 63% Approval rating, while President Clinton was on 56%, while Bush 43 was on 43%. Both Reagan and Clinton go in to trouble in the 2nd year of their 2nd term, while Bush 43 had Iraq through out, the President said of late that since he was low in the polls there was only one way to go, that was up, that is BAD strategic planning, a great US President Harry S. Truman had a 32% approval rating at the end of his term in office, lets recall he had to deal with the Korean War, while Nixon due to Watergate was on 24% Approval, that must include his family and the White House Staff. While the last two term President, Bush 43 had a approval rating of 34%. President Obama can go lower, he should not allow his ego to get in the way of making a strategic comeback, otherwise he could find that the last three years are the most fraught of his life. It odd but the two Presidents who looked good as in physical shape at the end of their terms were Reagan and Clinton, they enjoyed the Office and would have run for 3rd term if allowed, the rest even Bush 43 could not wait to get OUT.
