Are there any examples of long-serving (say, 15+ years) democratic political leaders who were still popular when they left office?

If you mean their whole political career when you say 15+ years and mean left with over 50% approval ratting by popular, there have been a few presidents in recent times. Interestingly enough, Clinton seems to be the only one who gained support despite the scandal at the end of his second term.
