Both President Bush and President Obama have polled poorly their second term in office. Although at this point in their presidencies the two commanders-in-chiefs have received approval ratings significantly below fifty percent, similar polls from 2006 and today show that Obama scored higher than his predecessor in both trustworthiness and compassion but was relatively equal in effective governance.
