History of approval ratings on Bush’s side for re-election

President Bush is ending his third year in office with 63% job approval, the highest rating of any president since Lyndon Johnson, who finished 1963 with a 74% rating a month after John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
Johnson went on to win the 1964 election 10 months later in a landslide over Republican Barry Goldwater.

With the exception of Jimmy Carter, every president since Franklin Roosevelt who ended his third year in office with job approval above 50% won the re-election he sought. Presidential job-approval polling began with Roosevelt.

And everyone wonders why Hillary isn’t throwing her tiara in the ring?

Merry Christmas, President Bush!
