His approval rating is at the low end of presidents that get reelection.

Also, I wish I had more data available from 1976, as I think it could be the most comparable, what with both incumbents being accidental.

I really wanted to post this to bring some folks back down to earth, I've seen people here claim in the past few days that it might be possible for Kerry to receive 60% of the vote. This is just highly unlikely, and everyone needs to remember that we are in a very polarized nation, and it could swing either way. We must remember that this election will be close, no matter what, and we need to work our asses off for Kerry to see that he gets in the White House.
