Look Out, Dick Nixon

The USA Today/Gallup poll now shows George Bush at a 31 percent approval rating. Nearly two-thirds of Americans – 65 percent – approve of the job he’s doing.


I think he is basically down now to the total viewership of Fox News.


According to USA Today:


Only four presidents have scored lower approval ratings since the Gallup Poll began regularly measuring it in the mid-1940s: Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and the first George Bush. When Nixon, Carter and the elder Bush sank below 35%, they never again registered above 40%.


Truman twice sank into the low 30s and then rose into the 60s, but the third time his rating fell, it stayed below 40% as well.
