the importance of public opinion and approval important to the

president as a critical source of power : explanation

Explanation:

Public opinion is the leading factor to becoming president in the first place. You will not be elected, nor arguably more importantly RE elected if you do not have the public's opinion swayed in your favor. The goals and morals of people typically fall into two political fields, Republican and Democratic  and so they vote as such. Even then, a person may vote outside their specific field, and its those votes that matter.

With the public on your side you are able to win the election, and there for have power. Continuing to gain and keep close that power throughout your time in office leads to re election and ultimately power in the form of high regarded opinion with the people after you resign.
