Rockefeller, a moderate Republican, narrowly won the 1968 Republican Primary against Conservative opponent Ronald Reagan, who became Rockefeller's running mate to appeal to Conservatives. Historians tend to believe Rockefeller's first term, which included strong sanctions against the Soviet Union, progressive conservation policy, and housing reform was a success. However, his second term was dogged by heavy inflation and unemployment, causing him to leave office with 41% approval ratings. Upon leaving office, he became a high profile spokesman for various charities before his death in 1979.
