Discuss the role played by approval ratings in shaping presidential agency.
What will be an ideal response?
Approval ratings are used by presidents to encourage adoption of executive policies and to maximize the influence of their bully pulpit. These successes lead to greater control over national policy. High approval ratings usually occur in the early, honeymoon period of a president's term, as shown through the administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
