PBR,

You should read the entire article. I believe it says that Clintons' approval rating pretty much tracked the economy, as I have been trying to say in all my posts. If you know economics, the economy doesn't turn around over night and it always follows a cyclical pattern. Just in case you do not know what cyclical means (which you probably do), the economy cannot keep on an upward trend forever, it ebbs and flows, that is just the way it has been over the centuries. The politicians just try to make the upturns larger than the downturns.

I would have to study Clinton's economic policy better to figure out whether or not he is responsible for the upturn in the economy, but I am pretty sure that his watch was responsible for the downturn in the economy. When exactly did the stock market start taking a beating and unemployment increase? Who was in office then probably wasn't a big deal because they were at the end of their second term (i.e., Clinton).
