keep whistling past the graveyard

Reagan didn;t start his 1st term at 65% +! AND ,,, he didn’t drop 30%+ his 1st 11 months

True, but he had a much bigger drop, and to lower numbers:

“Approval peaked at 73 percent after he was wounded in a March 1981 assassination attempt, but tumbled to 42 percent in the early ’80s recessions (unemployment hit a 40-year high in 1982). It recovered to 70 percent in early 1986 as the economy improved, but then dived by 26 points in nine months during the Iran-Contra scandal. “
