Since you were busy boasting such high numbers for former President Obama, here another fact check for you
Barack Obama finished his tenure as president with a 47.9% average job approval rating. He ranks below eight presidents and ahead of only three -- Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and Harry Truman -- in Gallup's polling history.

Polling doesn't matter because it depends on how you word the question and who you ask. I personally found Obama likable as a human being, but I thought he made a lousy President. He dressed well, he spoke well, he seemed down to Earth as a person. But as a President, he was unable to work with Congress, he put his nose into things that he had no business putting it in (law enforcement/racial issues) and he didn't get anything done. Even his big initiative - health care - was a disaster from rollout to the day he walked out the door of the WH for the last time.

Oh I agree - polling is mostly slanted and often wrong - that would be why I do not go to polling data, but since he was talking about such high job approval numbers in the last few days just felt the need to pop his housing bubble.
