Approval ratings for presidents.

November 2, 2005 11:33 PM

Can anyone suggest a link that has approval rating polls of all of the previous presidents. It doesnt have to be all, but preferably the last ten presidents. The more information the better, for example preferrably more then one apprval rating for each president (perhaps their highest and lowest rating). Any links will be greatly appreciated, even if they arent exactly what im looking for.

This pdf document (Presidential Approval in Perspective) offers a good analysis of past presidential approval ratings. There is an excellent chart on page 8 depicting how approval ratings changed throughout the terms of office for every president since 1937.

This website has a spreadsheet that has more indepth data for recent presidents, although it says it's range is from 1945 - 2005.

About.com has a page that lists the end of presidency approval rating for every president since Nixon.

This page has a graph comparing President Bush's approval rating with those of Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton.
