It usually takes a few years after they leave office for that to turn around.
Hell, at the end of his life Richard Nixon was appearing all the time on CNN's Larry King and other interview shows and was treated like a beloved elder statesman.
And look at Geoge H.W. Bush. When he was beaten by Clinton in the 1992 election he was ridiculed and pretty much humiliated.
Now the press treats him like some kind of national treasure.
And Clinton himself...remember at the end of his term he was so hated that even Al Gore wouldn't let him go on the campaign trail with him in 2000 when he ran for President. And the Democrat Party didn't have him speak at the convention that year.
Now Clinton is loved by the majority of people.
It's always that way for polls.
Doesn't mean that a President is doing a good job or a bad job. It's just the way things are.
If you ask me...other than the big mansion, the private jet, the private helicopter, getting to pretend to be the "commander in chief" of the military, and traveling all over the world...I think I'd want to quit after one term and let the next guy deal with the bullshit. lol

Actually, I would have to disagree with you here, While yes, GW bush suffered in the polls during his second term, the Republican that had a second term before him, Ronald Reagan had great poll numbers, WHY? Because he was and according to this poll, a loved president.
Clinton suffered in his second term because of the scandals and doing things like NAFTA and making China a preferred trade partner and for white water. Not because the economy was doing poorly, when it comes to that, the country was in a good place.
Obama just has shown no interest in running the country.
We're having a crisis of illegal aliens crossing the border and Obama wants money for lawyers and more places to keep them, when most people would think to just stop the illegal aliens from entering the country, then deal what we already have. These kids have not had their shots and many have been quarantined. Yet Obama will not send troops to the border like Gov Perry asked.
The VA crisis pissed off every veteran in the country, myself included, he promised to fix that and because of people falsifying documents, we thought they had fixed the system.
NSA is still spying on people that they don't have a legal right to do.
Lois Lerners emails came up missing and the IRS who had a 1.5 billion a year IT department can't find them. And she is still claiming the 5th.
The middle east is going to complete shit in a basket.
Even MSNBC is starting to comment on the negative shit going on.
Obama's poll numbers going down has only himself to blame
