Second-term curse : ウィキペディア英語版 | Second-term curse The second-term curse is the perceived tendency of second terms of recent U.S. presidents to be less successful than their first terms. According to the "curse", the second terms of recent presidents have usually been plagued by a major scandal, policy inertia, some sort of catastrophe, or other problems. The legend behind the second term curse is the fact that Franklin D. Roosevelt broke the ''de facto'' 2nd term limit by running for third and fourth terms. Some people have said they believe that, in response, the ghost of George Washington might have put a curse on any President that seeks a 2nd term.〔〔 Whether this perceived tendency is real is a subject of dispute: for example, political statistician Nate Silver, after analyzing presidential approval ratings for Harry S. Truman through Barack Obama, did find that approval ratings were lower on average during second terms, but he also found a variety of other reasons to explain those ratings, and he concluded that that "the idea of the second-term curse is sloppy as an analytical concept." In addition, political writer Michael Barone cited several presidents who had successful second-terms, and wrote that "second-term problems resulted more often from the failure to adjust to changed circumstances and unanticipated challenges". ==Presidents of the curse==
