It's a combination of high expectations (which his campaign did not downplay in 2008) and low results.
He is culturally rather liberal, so that will lead to some pushback.
I think his biggest problem was in what he did when he got to Washington. His strategy was to peel off some Republicans in passing massive bits of legislation, rather than splitting legislation to allow some opportunities for bipartisan votes. You can make an argument that if that happened, unpopular elements of legislation like the Affordable Care Act would never be passed, although that would be part of his unpopularity.
