wanderingsoul,

While there is nothing to prevent an assessment of a president prior to the end of that Administration, you may find it easier to come to a useful evaluation if you do so. For example, there was much - very much - brouhaha about President Clinton’s behavior while on company time. Since his departure, much of the vehemence of his antagonists has been reassessed as unnecessary.

As PantyFanatic pointed out, President Bush was reelected to a second term in office by the approval of the majority of the voters – the opinions which count.

Something you may wish to consider is what makes up a good president? Success in domestic affairs, success in foreign affairs, popularity at home, or abroad? Honesty? Integrity? Skills as an orator? Should all presidents be judged by the same standards, or do different standards apply to the different times a president served?
