Nixon may have been a criminal and an asshole, but he actually had some positive accomplishments - for example, he vastly improved diplomatic relations with China, established the Environmental Protection Agency, and supported lowering the voting age from 21 to 18.

Well, it was already on the decline going into Reagan, even on that graph

A lot of environmental reform happened under Nixon
