Geeze LenD, you give these logic defying leftist more credit than they deserve.
What was that delusional drivel techwee posted?. . .
Here it is:

In truth, Reagan was almost *exactly* as popular as Bill Clinton in terms of approval and disapproval ratings through each year of his presidency.

So, when I read that, I just chalked it up to techwee reading the same "news" that widebody gets. I imagine somewhere, somebody played with their poll, and published their numbers. (and the wanting lefties ate it up. . .)
I do believe it is tough to beat a large sample, when it comes to WHO has the bigger, better numbers . . . in this "popularity" contest, weenie is talking about.
The facts:
just under
59% popular vote for Reagan 2nd term.
-vs-
just under
49% popular vote for Clintons 2nd term.
Now if those second term VOTES don't reflect "approval and disapproval ratings" I don't know what does. (some guys poll?
)
Foot note:
Reagan recieved more total votes than any president in U.S. history (including Clinton) despite the fact that the nation's population has grown by more than 30 million in the last 20 years.
