Arthur, Grover Cleveland, Herbert Hoover, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald Ford and an eclectic lot of non-Presidents including John Foster Dulles, George Gallup, Aaron Burr, Nelson A.

According to a CBS survey, popular approval of his Administration climbed from 38% in June to 51% last week, while a Gallup poll rose from 39% in August to 56%.
