George Bush ties Richard Nixon's Lowest Approval Ratings; 10 points lower than Jimmy Carter's!

John McCain and George Bush: Losers.

From About.com we learn:

End-of Presidency
Job Approval Ratings
ABC News Data
Bill Clinton (2001) 65%
Ronald Reagan (1989) 64
Dwight Eisenhower (1961) 59
John F. Kennedy (1963) 63
George Bush (1993) 56
Gerald Ford (1977) 53
Lyndon Johnson (1969) 49
Jimmy Carter (1981) 34
Richard Nixon (1974) 24

Well, you can now add George Bush to the Bottom of that list! See below from CNN:

"Monday evening's CNN national Poll of Polls -- incorporating our new CNN survey, as well as new tracking numbers from Gallup and Hotline taken October 3-5 -- shows Obama leading McCain by 6 points -- at 49 to 43 percent.

President Bush may be part of the reason why Obama's making gains. Only 24 percent of those polled approve of Bush's job as president, an all-time low for a CNN survey. See the latest polling

"Bush has now tied Richard Nixon's worst rating ever, taken in a poll just before he resigned in 1974, and is only 2 points higher than the worst presidential approval rating in history, Harry Truman's 22 percent mark in February 1952," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland."

It is a measure of the meaninglessness of these things that a man who accomplished the least --- even Jimmy Carter can claim credit for the Camp David accords --- has the highest rating.

You're right - Reagan should be at the bottom.
