Graph: Presidential Approval Ratings

Plotted points are the averages of all approval polls taken by Gallup in each three-month period of each presidency. The first two points for Johnson and Ford are for polls taken in their first two months. Key dates are marked next to the poll results for the three-month period in which they took place.

With his inauguration just 90 minutes away, Barack Obama will most surely begin his Presidential tenure on a high note. But will the new President be able to maintain his popularity?
