I'd say Truman.  When he left office, everyone thought he was failure, and now he is almost always ranked in the top 10.  Likewsie for Eisenhower.

I'd say George H.W. Bush, he was despised when he left office and now enjoys pretty decent approvals

LBJ

As the vietnam war and the problems in the 1960's have faded in the people's memories, Johnson has been seen as a better and more efective President that he truly was.

Andrew Johnson has undergone a pretty big change in reputation, for the worse. The racist Dunning School adored him and considered his policies faithful to Lincoln's ideas. Now, many historians are recognizing Johnson's role in thwarting every attempt to give freedmen their civil rights and mantaining white supremacy.

Truman. Reminds me of Bourassa in Quebec.

George W. Bush... from 90% approval rate to 30%.

(Or does "reputation has changed" mean "it got better over time"? Wink )

Got better, or got worse.  Bush doesn't count.
