Demagogue

On this cusp of his 2nd term inauguration festivities President Bush's approval rating is a post-election bounce-free 52%.

Let's compare that to other re-elected presidents at the same juncture in their careers, shall we?

Clinton 62% (January 1997)
Reagan 64% (January 1985)
Nixon 59% (January 1973)

That's quite a nice-looking mandate Bush has his arm around, apparently he's taking him to the ball...
