Clinton left the WH with a higher approval rating than Reagan left with.

If Jimmy and George Junior could both run again, do you think Jimmy would beat Dubya?

Presidents' approval ratings almost always go higher once they are out of office for a few years. W's rating will almost certainly be higher in 10 years.

He's striving for 40%!

Jimmy Carter 64% Job Approval Rating

These people obviously didn't live through the Carter years like I did. More proof that our public schools are putting out more and more idiots every year.

Any one who voted for that lame ass Carter, never had to wait in line for gas hours at a time to fill up on the only 2 days a week you were "allowed" to. This fake approval rating thing cracks me up...If the selfish little bastards (as in the younger generation of today) had to wait in said lines they would freak out and go postal... extreme road rage anyone..

if it takes as long as it took carter to get to 64%, i won't live to see it.






so i've got that going for me.

 

[Lycurgus]

Obama 82% and he hasn't done a damn thing! Not even at the state level.

Amazing, what a dumb, dumb - ah never mind.

I realize that Carter wasn't a popular president in 1979 and 1980.

What I was thinking, was that 6 months ago Bush supporters were giggling among themselves that they could tar Obama as "Carter II" and score points.

I told you that wouldn't work. It might have sounded good when Rush Limbaugh was saying it to you, but I told you that 30 years after Carter left office most americans don't really hate the man, and no one under the age of 50 can even really remember his presidency. That Rush Limbaugh stategy of political attack only made the GOP look old and super out of touch.

Obama 82 % ?

Who did CNN consult on this ? Miss Cleo or Dionne Warwick ?

 

[xsited1]

Yes, you are.

Haha. Okay, I set myself up for that one, especially since I graduated from Central High School (i.e., public school) in Little Rock. So how old were you when Carter was President?

 

[Xenophon]

Those rating didn't help Jimmy in the 1980 election.
