3rd lowest approval rating of any president in the last 50 YEARS. BWAHAHA!
Bush's Public Approval at New Low Point

By ADAM NAGOURNEY and MEGAN THEE
Published: May 9, 2006

Americans have a bleaker view of the country's direction than at any time in more than two decades, and sharp disapproval of President Bush's handling of gasoline prices has combined with intensified unhappiness about Iraq to create a grim political environment for the White House and Congressional Republicans, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News Poll.

Mr. Bush's approval rating for his management of foreign policy, Iraq and the economy have fallen to the lowest levels of his presidency. He drew poor marks on the specific issues that have been at the top of the national agenda in recent months — in particular, immigration and gas prices — underscoring the difficulty the administration faces in reversing its political fortunes.

Just 13 percent approved of Mr. Bush's handling of rising gas prices. Only one-quarter said they approved of his handling of immigration, as Congressional Republicans struggle to come up with a compromise to deal with the influx of illegal immigrants into the country.

---SNIP---

Mr. Bush's overall job approval rating hit another new low, 31 percent, tying the low point of his father, George H. W. Bush, in July 1992, four months before the elder Mr. Bush lost his bid for a second term to Bill Clinton. That is the third lowest approval rating of any president in 50 years; only Richard M. Nixon and Jimmy Carter were viewed less favorably.

8. Yes indeed he does.
The horrible part is how many people he fooled (before the number of people he killed). He's not fooling them anymore.

5. Wow - what did Carter do?
Nixon is obvious...

But apart from Carter telling everyone to deal with oil properly... :shrug:

6. Carter was stabbed in the back by the Ray-Gun people.
and Carter had the courage to tell the people of this country some unpleasant truths that they did not want to hear...for instance, the impending energy crises!

7. I'd just love to see his ratings go below his father's.

that would make my day. I bet #41 and #43 would have a good laugh too.
