One of the things I find interesting is how quickly things can turn for a president. George HW Bush went from 89% (gulf war) to 29% (recession) in 17 months. Ford went from 71% (right after taking office) to 37% (continued backdraft from the Nixon pardon????) in 7 months. Nixon went from 67% (start of the end in vietnam) to 24% (watergate) in 19 months.
