Interpretation folks?

A lot of first time voters helped put him in. Unreasonably high expectations by many of them may contribute. Other folks never voted for him anyway so they can be negative too.
He has a huge load on his plate which he is making yeoman's efforts at solving.
His approval rates early were so high there was noplace to go but down, and finally...
Approval rates are not the same as election results. Have an election with a real candidate running against him tomorrow and I say he will win again handily.
Approval ratings are for a real working pres against some vague ideal of what might be in people's minds.
