Clinton?  It was high.  Why?  Cuz people had "jobs" and "money" and the "economy wasnt tanked".

Believe it or not Clinton's rating never got as low as Bush's is now.

GWB's approval ratings are in the shitter...

polls by their very nature are going to be skewed, but I found a couple links


BClinton's was 73% during impeachment hearings


Reagan vs. Clinton

snipped from ABC news:

Reagan's Job Performance

 Approve  Disapprove  
7/30/01  66%  27  (Retrospective)
2/27/00 64  26  (Retrospective)
'81-'88  57  39  (Career average)
2/26/87  44  51  Low — Iran-Contra
4/26/86  70  26  High — Libya bombing
1/22/83 42  54  Low — unemployment
4/22/81  73  19  High — shot by Hinckley


Of course, Nixon had an approval rating near 61% at one point
