US Presidential Approval two years in

Here’s the net approval rating of each US President at the two year mark (which occurred this week for Trump). They have a strong correlation to re-election but not absolute. For example Bush 41 went on to lose and Reagan to win. But still very important.

  1. Bush 41 +71%
  2. Kennedy +56%
  3. Eisenhower +53%
  4. Truman +40%
  5. Johnson +39%
  6. Bush 43 +23%
  7. Nixon +16%
  8. Obama +8%
  9. Ford +5%
  10. Clinton +2%
  11. Carter +2%
  12. Reagan -17%
  13. Trump -22%
