Approval Rating

## Approval Ratings

### Scale Grade

The scale is intended to rate leaders of lands, such as presidents, on a scale of 1 to 5. It doesn't matter what the leader or his cronies feel, it matters and grades how they did and how the people reacted or rates them. But the ratings aren't meant to be exact, simply well-founded estimates. The plausibility of ratings changing even after a certain term could depend on how feelings change.

Lately, ratings converted to include a ".5" (half) have also become a thing because that is more precise and fair. For example, if it's accepted a leader got higher than 4 but still lower than 5, then it's more accurate to put 4.5 (at least for the time being). And if a leader seems like it deserves a 3 but still higher than 2, then it's more accurate to put 2.5 instead. If this was a scale rating of 1 to 10, then you would just double the numbers of this scale (e.g. 1 x 2 = 2, 3.5 x 2 = 7, 4.5 x 2 = 9).

Without further ado, here are the ratings explained in a table:
