Ranking U.S. Presidents From Most to Least Liked by the Public

Obama’s crowning achievement in domestic policy, known as the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare, was met with Republican resistance. Despite this, it succeeded in providing health insurance to an additional 20 million Americans. Furthermore, his leadership was pivotal in navigating the nation through the Great Recession and in saving the U.S. automotive industry from collapse.

Despite once being a beloved figure in the presidential rankings, Obama slid out of the top 10 in 2022. This drop was attributed to his interactions with Congress and his approach to international affairs, highlighting the complexities of his legacy.
