Bush’s approval ratings hit record-breaking territory
Bush is now officially the least popular president since pollsters started measuring approval ratings. He is less popular than Nixon was on the day he resigned office.
Well done, Dubya!
As President-elect Obama visits the White House, a new national poll suggests that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the most unpopular president in the six decades since presidential approval ratings were first measured.
Seventy-six percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday disapprove of how George W. Bush is handling his job as President. That’s an all-time high in CNN polling, or in Gallup polling dating back to World War II.
“No other president’s disapproval rating has gone higher than 70 percent. Bush has managed to do that three times so far this year,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “That means that Bush is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate with a 66 percent disapproval rating.”

Where was the Congress approval rating in this? Amazing how it was lower than Bush’s but almost everyone was voted back in.
Is this the Change we need?
