President Obama is shaping up to be one of the most polarizing presidents in recent history, according to a Gallup survey of polling data.

In 2013, Obama received an average of 82 percent approval from Democrats and 11 percent of Republicans — a 71 percentage point gap that rates as the fourth-largest since 1953. It’s the fifth year in a row that Obama’s polarization rating — the gap between the parties in his approval — has been in the top 10. That’s the most of any president.
