Is Chimpy the lowest of the low?
Has any other President *maintained* low ratings as long as Chimpy?

I mean, we know that
LBJ hit 35%,
Nixon 24%,
Carter 28%,
Reagan 35%,
Poppy 29%,
Clinton 37%...

But Clinton's low was a blip, and he bounced back. Chimpy's been in the 30's for-EVUH. Has anyone else tanked in the polls for as long as this loser?

What a blight on the American landscape he is.

1. Hitting 30% (.300) is a good average in baseball...

That's probably the way the idiot looks at it.

2. If W were attacked by the MSM like Clinton was he'd be at 15% - no lie.

3. Nixon hung in for nearly a year in the 20s.
I have to remind people of this now and again. It was pretty ugly.

Not exactly what you're looking for but:

Bush's Disapproval In Gallup Within MoE of All-Time Record

by Chris Bowers, Tue May 02, 2006 at 03:36:11 PM EST

Gallup shows Bush at 34 / 63, for an overall net of -29. A net disapproval of -29 puts him only 2 points behind the all-time worst of Bush Sr. and Carter, who both cratered at -31. However, I want to emphasize the importance of a 63% disapproval number, because it is the third highest rating for a President in the long history of the Gallup poll. Both Carter and Bush Sr. never went past 60%. Only Truman, at 65%, and Nixon, at 66%, ever surpassed a 63% disapproval rating according to Gallup.

However, a difference of only 3% in a telephone survey of around 1000 people is not statistically significant. While his net approval keeps him in the Carter -- Bush I range, right now no President, at any point in his presidency, has had a greater percentage of the nation disapproving of the job he is doing. Not even Nixon during the height of the Watergate scandal. In fact, on July 15th, 1974, Gallup also put Nixon at 63% disapproval.
