June 21, 2007 - In 19 months, George W. Bush will leave the White House for the last time. The
latest NEWSWEEK Poll
suggests that he faces a steep climb if he hopes to coax the country
back to his side before he goes. In the new poll, conducted Monday and
Tuesday nights, President Bush’s approval rating has reached a record
low. Only 26 percent of Americans, just over one in four, approve of
the job the 43rd president is doing; while, a record 65 percent
disapprove, including nearly a third of Republicans...
But the 26 percent rating puts Bush lower than Jimmy Carter, who sunk
to his nadir of 28 percent in a Gallup poll in June 1979. In fact, the
only president in the last 35 years to score lower than Bush is Richard
Nixon. Nixon’s approval rating tumbled to 23 percent in January 1974,
seven months before his resignation over the botched Watergate break-in.
LOL!
