Sure. Bush had 67%R approval rating with only 7%D when he left office. 60% difference, which is a little high, but average is around 55. The norm when a country is united to solve issues. Bush had 88%R and 32%D when he took office, then 98%R and 78%D in Dec 2001. I don't agree with Bush's second term though, I believe he did a lot wrong. Obama started at 41%R and 88%D in 2009 when he took office. January 2017, the week before he left office, it was 14%R and 95%D. 81 points! The parties were divided more than ever after the Obama presidency. Obama pushed that division as well. He basically let people burn down cities for God's sake.

You can't call that a red party problem when there are democrats the same way August. There are plenty of people who think Hillary has done no wrong and would be a good president because that's what they've been told and they stick to it.

Here we go.
Obama weaponized our enemies.
Obama gave Iran access back to $150 billion dollars that was in frozen accounts. Iran is a known terrorist state with hostile activity against the US before.
Obamacare
Obamacare was great on paper, awful in practice. It was high cost, health premiums went up, and coverage was absolute garbage because it caused most people to lose their family doctors. Which was total bullshit because Obama always said that you could keep your current plan under his plan. Not to mention it forced people to get insurance. So yeah, everyone had insurance, but they had to pay for it! And if you couldn't afford to pay for it, you got fined! WOW, GREAT WORK!
Purged GITMO
Really need explanation?
Pulled troops out of Iraq and Afghan
Great idea 44. Bring the troops home before the war finished. In turn, created such a powerful entity in ISIS
Immigration
Vowed to stop illegal immigration. Instead, he gave amnesty to thousands of DACA kids without going through the proper steps, and never revisited the issue.
Scandals
Fast and Furious. Benghazi. Uranium One.
I have plenty more criticisms, but those are the main ones for now that aren't R vs D based.
