there is a a lot of dissatisfaction from much of the public from what I've read and heard. No solid poll numbers (don't think they do that there) showing his popularity is as low as bush's, but much has been said that he's concentrating too much on the anti-American rhetoric and PR stunts than on problems at home. The economy is in trouble there and he's not doing much about it. There have been student protests and women across the country are just beginning to push back against their restrictions.

To me, in many ways, both men are complete opposites, but still so much alike in their rigid ideologies and intelligence. They both are answerable to their hardline RW minority crowds. It's hard to tell the difference between them, IMO.
