Obama's legacy same as Carter's?

Nice man that got nothing done?

His administration's signature legislation, the ACA, will likely be dismantled leaving him with no effective legislation passed, as with Carter.

Like the hostage situation that Carter left the country, Obama leaves a country overrun with illegal immigrants and a racial situation (police shootings, BLM, etc) worse than it's been in 30 years.   Like Carter, Obama is seen as impotent to deal with those issues that create a feeling of a country that is flailing aimlessly with no power to do anything.

Though Obama didn't get beat personally in the election like Carter did, his appointed surrogate lost to a celebrity that the left railed against and laughed at, while middle America embraced the promise of a better America.

Only time will tell of course, but if Trump has anywhere near the same success that Reagan did, it's more likely to be the case that's Obama's legacy will building homes somewhere for Habitat for Humanity.

I mean, Obama is a two-term President with approval ratings that were regularly North of 50%.

Is that the same pollsters that had Hillary winning?

It's far more likely that Trump will prove to be the Carter of the Republican party;

Not a chance.  No one will ever accuse Trump of being a nice guy.
