That I understand. I think it was like a year or so after he was elected, this one poll I saw said something like 66%+ of the people who voted for him regret their decision. But I don't remember what the amount of people in the group was. Even then, though, he's been painted as a second messiah. There was definitely more hatred for Bush than Obama.
I definitely wouldn't say the media see him as a messiah, in my most unbiased opinion (I am neither a fan nor a foe of the man, I don't think he's a good president but I also don't know who COULD be right now, bleh) even the liberals are disenchanted...I just saw Rachel Maddow ripping him to shreds about something when I was flipping through the channels. He's not appeasing the left either, because he's dragging his feel on gay rights and many feel he is pandering to the tea party, etc...
