President Obama's first term is now history.
Which raises the question: How did the public view his first four years in office? A lot like they way they viewed Bill Clinton, according to one metric.
Obama's first-term average approval rating was just over 49 percent, according to data from Gallup. Compared to all post-World War II presidents Gallup tracked, Obama's 49.1 percent average most closely resembled Bill Clinton's 49.6 percent number.
