comparative polls

Can't Ever Let Monica Go
Tweety's showing the all-time low Gallup polls for all the presidents. Tweety said:

Clinton was 43 at his lowest. That includes Monica.

Yes, that includes Monica, but is very deceptive as it implies that during Monica Madness was when Clinton was the most unpopular. Clinton was very popular during Monica Madness and no Gallup poll got anywhere near 43% approval.

The lowest poll number from Druge Day through the end of impeachement was immediately after that day and was 58%. It hit 59% only one more time, and then stayed 60+ until impeachment was over.
