He never was demonized by the general public until the housing market collapsed causing the banks to fail and the economy to collapse (which ironically was something he DIDN'T and couldn't do...Congress had the hand in all of that in the late 1990's)

Obama's approval ratings are pretty much tied with Bush for the 20th quarter. And unless something drastic happens to change the President's fortunes...he is gonna drop even further.
