However, this is not the fairest.
For Obama's low evaluation, the support rate of the incumbent president is inevitably dragged down by practical factors, showing a downturn. Usually, after the president leaves office, the support rate will pick up. Therefore, it is slightly unfair to put the incumbent president and predecessor together to score.
From a historical point of view, a president may have to wait for decades to get a true evaluation. Michael bay Schloss, a historian, once said, "When you look at a president in 20 or 30 years' time, things are usually different. Because that waiting time will make you understand what is important and what is not. "
The Financial Times website also believes that Obama's second term has not yet ended, and it is "too early" to evaluate his position in American history.
Therefore, before Obama leaves office, President Bush will have to bear the burden for some time.
