The following list shows the percentages of presidential appellate court nominees who were eventually confirmed by the Senate:

Harry Truman 100%

Dwight Eisenhower 92.3%

John Kennedy 77.3%

Lyndon Johnson 96.2%

Richard Nixon 87%

Gerald Ford 81.8%

Jimmy Carter 100%

Ronald Reagan 95%

G.H.W. Bush 95.7%

Bill Clinton 86.4%

George Bush 53.1%
