Importing presidential approval poll results
Abstract. The American Presidency Project (http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu) provides
presidential job approval poll results. These data are available for each U.S.
president since President Franklin D. Roosevelt and for all the job approval
polls conducted since his presidency. In this article, we propose the Stata
command approval, which downloads these approval poll results in their
original format, an HTML table. approval then parses the HTML table and
prepares the data as a usable Stata dataset.
