Presidential Approval Ratings Data
On this page you can see the public approval ratings of the U.S. presidents during their terms of office. This data is based on a representative sample of the public’s answer to this question:
Do you approve or disapprove of the way [first & last name] is handling his job as President?
Franklin D. Roosevelt was the first president that used this sort of approval data. It has become a much more common data collection practice in more recent decades, as you can see from the charts below.
Democratic Party representatives are color-coded blue. Republican Party representatives are color-coded red.
