Presidental Approval Comparison

18 months into the first terms, the presidential approval ratings for various Presidents was:

1. Eisenhower 75%
2. Bush GWH 74%
3. JFK 67%
4. LBJ 65%
5. Bush GW 65%
6. Nixon 55%
7. Ford 48%
8. Carter 43%
9. Clinton 43%
10. Reagan 41%
11. Obama 41%

Reagan, Clinton and Truman all went on to win another term, so maybe Obama is following their strategy of not peaking too early!
