This is an amusing thread.

Yeah, but Reagan's first year wasn't so bad that close to half of the electorate wanted ****ing Carter back. I'd like a source for this, please.

After his assassination attempt popularity surge which helped with pushing through his economic program through the Congress, Reagan had low approval ratings throughout his 1st and 2nd years in office. They were mostly in the 40a/50d -range, and lowest point was at the start of his 3rd year, 35a/55d. If you look at approval rate-graphs, Obama's popularity trend seems to develop very near to what used to be Reagan's popularity curve, and right now you're the one who's also arguing that it's because of the very same reasons, ie. public's frustration with on-going recession triggered at the end of his predecessor's term and high unemployement.
