Both of them were dealing with very very bad economies at the outset of their presidencies, whereas Trump has overseen a historic bull run on Wall Street and an unemployment rate under 5% — literally full employment.

The unemployment rate for Obama in March of 2010 was 9.7% For Reagan, in March of 1982, it was 9%. Another historical note is that before they went on to re-election, Obama and Reagan suffered huge losses in midterm elections. Obama’s Democrats lost 63 seats and control of the House. Reagan only lost 26 seats. But if Trump’s Republicans lose 26 seats, it’ll be Nancy Pelosi or another Democrat wielding the gavel come January.

On the other hand, neither Obama nor Reagan had the kind of personal drama currently embroiling Trump. CNN’s poll shows two-thirds of Americans believe the women who say they’ve had affairs with him, not White House denials.
