The trend will continue to drop, barring any future amazing, momentous, fucking great deeds of his. Like that'll happen. Speaking of Nixon, his end-of-presidency approval rating was 24%. Conversely, Clinton's approval rating during and after the Lewinksy witch hunt seemingly never dropped below the mid 60s, and he left office with 65%. Reagan got 64%, and Kennedy got 63%. (Click, click, and click.) It seems Bush will be remembered as one of the least popular presidents in US history. Discuss.
The least popular man is sometimes the one who did what he had to, no matter what others thought of him. It doesn't always win you friends, but it certanly influences people.
"Did what he had to do?" Seriously?? Bush earned his lack of popularity the same way a bad CEO does or how ebola earned it's low numbers on the totem pole: Sheer idiocy, a disconnect from reality and arrogance. As for the ebola analogy; He has the disease and has spread it over the nation. It will be decades for us to recover our former status as a country to admire and even longer for the people to trust Republicans again. Nothing gets voters out better than a bad Republican adminstration.
What they don't tell you is that Bush's approval rating rises and falls with change in gas prices. Most of the people who voted in that poll were most likely just basing their decision on that alone.

You reactionaries are far too scared of little Hillary. She's just a conservative centrist drone for the Establishment. But the tighty righties hide their faces every time they hear her name. Don't be so afraid ice. There is more to life than fear. Didn't your dead prophet teach something about that?Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
It's gonna be a joyous time watching "Sir Edmund" Hillary face the music, she is a nasty, currently closeted, socialist, who loves Big Government, much more than now, if she could have her way, but I think America will remember the real Hillary, and see through her incessant phoniness.
Bill Clinton reduced the size of government and created a surplus. Bush created two new government bureaucracies, and increased the deficit.
Bill Clinton had virtually no choice but to go along with much of the "Contract with America" after the Republican landslide in 1994, so the Repubs gladly accept your apology, spidergoat.
And yet he maintained an approval rating comparable to Reagan's, at least in his last two years as President. Funny how you make fun of a popular president for some silly, immature reason, and cling so faithfully and blindly to a president whose popularity is dropping slowly (and for a good reason). Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it. A more virtuous, civilized, and moral quote, said by... guess who.
The pollsters only ask 1168 people and thus feel certain that that represents the feelings of all 300 million citizens? How interesting. I wonder who they asked? How many times have y'all tried to get a group of people to agree on anything? Ain't easy, is it? ...and likely they'll never agree. Yet this poll....? Baron Max
Dear Max, Yet this poll shows people disagreed. An approval rating of 28% would mean that 28% approved of the president and the rest didn't. That means people didn't agree on anything. It's just that the majority agreed on not approving Bush's policies. A minority disagreed with this. So people didn't agree I hope you understand now. regards, your monkey
The poll shows exactly what pollsters wanted it to show ...nothing more, nothing less. Anyone who believes polls is probably among the most gullible people on Earth. Baron Max
