Who even knew they tracked presidential approval ratings -- after the president leaves office? In any case, the folks at Gallup report today that Bill Clinton's approval rating, more than six years after leaving office, is near an all-time high.

His 63% approval rating is his highest since February 1998, and just short of his high mark, 66%, set just prior to his inauguration in 1993. His average as president was 57%. His current mark is slightly above that of his wife, Hillary Clinton, which currently stands at 58%.
