Obama was being naive but he assumed his popularity would allowed him to control congress.
Also he thought he had fixed the economy with the stimulus bill. I think if he spent more time on the economy he could have gotten far more done especially the financial reform bill..
Nonetheless, Obama's approval ratings are quite bad for a President and have not improved for about a year and half now. Lowest point was in August which was a terrible month for him. They have slightly improved as he is in the mid 40's and not the low 40's.
