President Bush's disapproval rating hits all time high Tuesday.
(CNN) - It’s one record President Bush would just as soon have left standing. In the Gallup Poll released Tuesday, Bush registers a 69 percent disapproval rating, the highest in that survey’s history – higher even than President Nixon during the Watergate scandal. But he can take comfort in the fact that the lowest positive rating in history still belongs to another commander-in-chief: Harry Truman, whose 23 percent mark in 1951 still bests Bush’s 28 percent approval. The runner-up in that category is Nixon, with 24 percent in 1974, shortly before his resignation. The discrepancy lies in the number of people who told interviewers they did not know, or did not have an opinion. Filed under: President Bush |
