To increase the presidential approval rates, one must restore the ecomonomic crisis and/or hardship. This will be determined in opinion polls whether done good or bad . The effect of the good economy will result in better outcomes in the United States. Due to the president being leader, he must fix the ecomony. We know the outcomes of a better economy...It provides us with neighborhoods that are safe.

Troops returning from prolonged wars or disagreements so that people can be home with their families is something to promote presidential approval rates.The effect is that family can be together and thid helps focus troops on education and family if they havent' already done so.

Answer 2

if you are from a Michigan AP Gov class, LAME!

You can figure this one out!

One-word hints:

BUSH

WAR

ECONOMY

If you were in AP Gov in Missouri you would already know more than two, but two are Crisis and Economic Status. If a Crisis is at hand, many people will look to the government for help. A catastrophe like 9/11 caused an overflow in support for the president. Things could be passed very quickly in those days. People wanted something to be done. Another reason is quite obvious. If the economy is down, or unemployment is high, people vote for the apposite party. They simply want the old one out. Due to the economic down fall of current day, Obama was voted into office to CHANGE the unemployment and bring us out of the downward spiral of recession.

Answer 3

People are likely to blame thepresident for anything that goes wrong in the country. A bad economy is almost sure to drop the approval ratings. Perceived inaction of the government after a hurricane or oil spill costs in the rating. Setbacks in foreign affairs or military defeats and statemates harm the president's popularity. Tax increases and cuts in federal social programs both can decrease ratings.
