It must be reiterated, since most media skip this: the nation' high court has asked and authorised the national military to take Zelaya out.

That is irrelevant since under the constitution there is no legal method for the courts to ask the military to remove the elected president, so they cannot authorise it which is why all the countries and organisations are condemning the coup.
It should also be noted that Zelaya was asking for a referendum on a non-binding resolution not an actual amendment of the constitution so even the courts ruling there is dodgy.

So he had public support ratings the same as many western politicians.
Then again Bush at stages got ratings of 19%, Blair got down to 24% while Cowen is currently at 18% .
So he was doing better than many western leaders yet none of their countries had a coup.
