Excellent interactive Flash graphic of presidential approval ratings by Gallup dating back to Harry Truman. How does President Obama fare?
At 55% overall, Obama’s approval rating is a tick below that of George W. Bush at six months. It is well above Clinton and Gerald Ford, who was hammered for his pardon of Richard Nixon.
The initially high approval ratings dropped dramatically for all presidents since Truman, except one.
Bill Clinton.
