Nice try. Reagan took over from a president that was worse than Obama has been (so far)...Jimmy Carter

Want to that route president Obama took over from a president who had ratings nearly tied with the hapless Carter [President Bush's latest ratings are 24 percent positive and fully 75 percent negative. Previously, his worst numbers were 26 percent positive and 72 percent negative in April of this year. His ratings are substantially worse than those of any president, except for Jimmy Carter (22%-77% in July 1980), since Harris first started measuring themin 1963. ] http://www.harrisinteractive.com/harris_poll/index.asp?PID=915

Regan took over the presidency in 1981 with an unemployment rate of 7.6 and presided over a climb for most of his first term until peaking at 10.2, nearly three years into his presidency.
