There’s a Newsweek poll out reporting that Bush’s approval rating has dropped to 28%.
Included in the poll results is a listing of the nadirs of other modern presidents approval ratings. From the bottom of the list:
- G.H.W. Bush: 29% (7/31/92 - 8/2/92)
- Carter: 28% (6/29/79 - 7/2/79)
- Nixon: 23% (1/4/74 - 1/7/74)
- Truman: 22% (2/9/52 - 2/14/52)
I never realized that Truman was at one point less well thought of than Nixon.
