For those of you wo get all tingly inside at the prospect of President Obama's falling approval ratings, I offer an interesting history of Presidential approval ratings by the WSJ.

I happened upon it when I was researching something else. It looks as if they all pretty much tank after the honeymoon period. GWB and Truman almost went into negative numbers.

Yep, and the right claimed he was going to be a one term president too...
You would think they would have learned...
Well, I can tell you one thing, before Clinton I voted probably 40% GOP and 60% Democratic - but the whole "Get Clinton" witch hunt turned me off the GOP so much that I've voted nearly 100% (not quite) Democratic since that time - and will CONTINUE to vote that way until the whole "witch hunt" mentality is flushed from the GOP (the "witch hunt" mentality I see on this board every single day ("Attack, attack, attack - and pay NO attention to FACTS!"). I swear, the GOP seems to have been taken over by slobbering, wild-eyed lunatics.
Notice all of the high points were the beginning of the terms of the wartime presidents; Truman:WWII, Bush I - Desert Storm and Bush II - 9-11.
It's an interesting history lesson, to be sure.
