I will say that Eisenhower, Reagan, and Clinton had successful second terms for the most part.
Ike-1958 and 1960 recessions
Reagan-Iran-Contra
Clinton-Impeachment
Those are all minor. I've never heard anything bad about the 50's. How bad of a recession was it. The 1960 Presidential Election made the US look like heaven so Ike must have left on a good note. Ronald Reagan wasn't effected badly by that scandal and obviously recovered in no time. Clinton was popular when he left office because the GOP fell for his trick and went after his affair when there were 900 other things he could've been impeached for.
-The '50s were very, very, far from perfect.
-Reagan's approval rating stayed in the 40s and low 50s for nearly all of 1987, also, he had the Stock Market Crash of 1987.
-What else would Clinton have been impeached on?
