CNN's Schneider claimed record-low Bush approval rating "isn't too bad"; Gallup disagrees

Gallup's most recent figure, is still lower than the approval ratings of all other presidents since World War II at similar points in their second terms:

President Approval rating Date of poll
Truman 57% March 6-11, 1949
**Eisenhower 65% March 15-20, 1957
Johnson 69% March 18-23, 1965
**Nixon 57% March 30-April 2, 1973
**Reagan 56% March 8-11, 1985
**Clinton 59% March 24-26, 1997
**Bush 45% March 21-23, 2005


**two terms.....

*********
edit to add another ref (cause you can never have to many references! :)

Compared to past two-term presidents, Bush has the lowest of all second-term approval ratings of all presidents starting with President Eisenhower in 1957. The highest approval rating at the start of the second term since '57 was in fact Eisenhower's, followed by Johnson's in 1965.

No ratings per se - Not much in the way of numbers, but interesting nonetheless...
