Bush had higher strong unfavorable ratings but lost to Bill Clinton and Al Gore had higher strong unfavorable than George W. Bush but lost.1290 WJNO: In the advent of the polling age (1930's), there hasn't been a full-term President succeeded by a President in their party without an approval rating of at least 54% .
