12 His job approval is also significantly lower than those of other modern two-term presidents at this point in their second terms. In January 1999, after his impeachment by the House of Representatives, President Bill Clinton’s job approval rating was 65%. In January 1987, President Ronald Reagan’s was 52%. President Lyndon Johnson received a 47% approval rating in early 1967, even as debate about the Vietnam War raged (and in this poll, most Americans say comparing Iraq to Vietnam is a fair comparison). Johnson’s lowest approval rating was 35%, reached in August 1968.
