Nixon, LBJ, Carter, Reagan (to name a few recent ones)? All reviled by huge portions of the country. Half the country even hated JKF during his reign (many forget his Presidency was bought by the unions).
Websites, games, videos - for how many Presidents has this shit been around anyway? Can you imagine if the web had been around during Vietnam?
Most winning candidates historically come in with around 50%. Bush is currently projected to top that. Clinton never topped 50%, and won the first time with a whopping 43%. What you're seeing is a very vocal minority. With the flourishing of the web, it just appears the dissent is larger than it really is - especially in the places you probably hang out.
