He still has two years to go, but pollsters and historians are already sizing up President Obama’s legacy, and it’s not in the category of “great.”
The latest poll was conducted by John Zogby, who said that even Democrats are discouraged by Obama. Just 49 percent of Democrats told the Zogby Analytics Poll that Obama will be “remembered as largely successful.” Among the rest of Democrats, 26 percent said he at least tried to do the right thing, though he failed. Only 10 percent say he went too far.
Among all voters polled:
• 25 percent said Obama tried to change things and was mostly successful.
• 30 percent said he was unsuccessful.
• 32 percent said his changes went “too far.”
“President Barack Obama still has two years. These will be critical to his legacy. And so will be perspective,” Zogby said. “Remember: Lincoln and Truman were skewered when in office; Warren G. Harding was loved.”
