Obama Popularity a Hoax

It turns out Barack Obama is more unpopular than all but one president (Clinton) in the last 40 years, measured at the end of their first 100 days. The Washington Times reports:
At the 100-day mark of his presidency, Mr. Obama is the second-least-popular president in 40 years.
Five presidents rated higher than Mr. Obama after 100 days in office: Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, and George H.W. Bush, in declining order of popularity. Obama had better hope his subsequent popularity resembles that of Reagan, rather than that of Carter, Nixon or W.
