They aren't. ----Also the jobs under Trump are more significant higher paying jobs than under Hussein.
Barack Hussein O approval rating on Jan 9 2010 was 46 percent. Today Trump's approval rating is 43 percent. So, despite all the favorable press for Hussein and all the negative press for Trump they are in a statistical dead heat.

Presidents generally have had an average approval rating of 53 percent since 1938 to 2018, according to historical comparisons compiled this week by Gallup. But Trump's approval rating dropped to 37 percent this week, down from 39 percent in December. The president was at his most popular shortly after taking office in January 2017, with 45 percent approval, but as his popularity has tanked after 12 months in office, he has fallen far behind other presidents' approval ratings. Trump's successor, Barack Obama, had a 49 percent approval rating in the January of his second year in office in 2010. George W. Bush was extremely popular after the September 11, 2001, terror attacks, with an approval rating of 84 percent in January 2002. Bill Clinton had high marks in comparison, too, with a 55 percent approval rating in January 1994. George H.W. Bush wasn't as popular as his son, but he was way up there, with 80 percent approval in January 1990. Ronald Reagan, seemingly every Republican's favorite president, had a 48 percent approval rating in January 1982, while one-term President Jimmy Carter had a 54 percent approval rating in January 1978. Richard Nixon, who went on to resign facing impeachment, had an approval rating of 63 percent in January 1970, while John F. Kennedy was backed by roughly 79 percent of Americans in January 1962. Trump is the least popular president in modern history, according to FiveThirtyEight. "Trump’s early-term unpopularity is unusual. In the decades since World War II, the average first-term president before Trump had an approval rating of 62 percent on his 175th day in office," the site wrote in July, when Trump's approval rating was 39 percent. Gallup's most recent poll results are based on telephone interviews with roughly 1,500 adults and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points. The poll was conducted as Michael Wolff’s book, Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House, was released last week with embarrassing stories alleging to reveal the internal politics of Trump's administration. Trump has said Wolff is a “fraud” and called it a “fake book.” Amid reports that he is mentally unwell, Trump said on Twitter over the weekend that he was a "very stable genius." Wolff said Monday both current and former top White House officials were told "to cooperate" in interviews with him. "Everybody was told to speak to me," Wolff said in an interview slated to air on CNN's Tonight With Don Lemon. "[Steve] Bannon told people to cooperate, Sean Spicer told people to cooperate, Kellyanne Conway told people to cooperate, Hope Hicks."
http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/29/politics/donald-trump-approval-rating/index.html No, Trump's approval rating hasn't caught up to Obama's By Jennifer Agiesta, CNN Polling Director Updated 10:39 AM ET, Sat December 30, 2017 CNN)President Donald Trump claimed Friday that his approval ratings at this point in his presidency rival those of Barack Obama, citing a report from "Fox & Friends." "While the Fake News loves to talk about my so-called low approval rating, @foxandfriends just showed that my rating on Dec. 28, 2017, was approximately the same as President Obama on Dec. 28, 2009, which was 47%...and this despite massive negative Trump coverage & Russia hoax!" he tweeted. But the truth, across almost every reputable poll, is that Trump's approval ratings have lagged behind those of nearly all of his predecessors, including Obama, since day one of his presidency. The cleanest comparison between the approval ratings of the two presidents is Gallup's daily tracking polls, which are released as both three-day rolling averages and weekly averages. The three-day averages released on December 28, 2009 -- the day Trump cited in his tweet -- showed 51% approval for Obama with 43% disapproval. On December 28 of this year, Gallup released a three-day average showing 38% approval for Trump with 56% disapproval. The weekly numbers tell a similar story: For the week ending December 27, 2009, 51% approved of Obama, and for the week ending December 24, 2017, 37% approved of Trump. That gap is mirrored in other polls with long-term trends and similar methodologies now as they had in 2009. In CNN's polling among all adults, 35% approved of Trump in mid-December 2017, while Obama held a 54% approval rating in December 2009. CBS News finds a 14-point gap between Obama's approval then (50%) and Trump's approval now (36%). NBC News and The Wall Street Journal show a smaller 6-point gap on approval, but Trump's disapproval number (56%) tops Obama's by 10 points (46%). And the Quinnipiac University poll finds a 9-point gap between Trump's approval (37%) and Obama's positive rating (46%) among registered voters. Trump's tweeted claim rests on the findings of a daily tracking poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports. Those findings come from a poll conducted using a mix of online interviews and those conducted via calls to landline telephones by a recorded voice interviewer rather than a live person. They claim to interview likely voters, without specifying in what election those people are likely to cast ballots, nor how they are identified. Polls conducted this way do not meet CNN's standards for reporting, because they can under-represent certain segments of the population. Rasmussen's polling received a C+ rating in FiveThirtyEight's most recent pollster rankings, and it has been found to lean toward the GOP when compared with other pollsters, which means it typically understated support for Obama and has a tendency to overstate support for Trump when compared with other polls. Looking back farther in time, Trump's approval ratings in his first year have consistently lagged behind other presidents in their first years in office. Trump's current rating in CNN polling of 35% stands at least 14 points behind every other president dating back to Dwight Eisenhower. Bill Clinton's numbers briefly matched Trump's in late spring 1993 but rebounded in midsummer, leaving Trump alone at the bottom of the approval rating barrel.
