Which US Prez had the HIGHEST approval rating? (I already know who has the LOWEST)!?

Kennedy had the highest ever recorded, but remember that approval ratings only go back to about the turn of the century.\n\nI don't know what Kennedy's highest approval rating was off the top of my head, but it seems to me it was somewhere in the high eighties.  You can find out more at www.gallop.com.\n\nI know you said you know who had the lowest, but just in case you're interested, it was Richard Nixon at 19%.

I hear he was actually a bad governer.  Hes not doing real well.  Last time i checked, his approval ratings were 33%.  A quote from arnold in that source: "If I were to make another teminator, I would go back in time and Tell Arnie not to run for governer."

President Bush's approval ratings are in the low 30%'s. Don't generalize.

#1 This is as high as he deserves! I'ts not just him. It's the rest of his "buddie's" to. It took more than one man to get the U.S.A. in this shamful state. All of them let there mouth overload there butt's. The next presidental election is going to be "one for the book's". Make sure you VOTE,this time!!

Reagan. He gave America back it's pride. Had another weak president followed Carter, Ford, and Nixon this country would be much less than it is.

5%, Bush Jr., in a poll I just took from people I met on a bus stop. However, in a poll in a VFW rally I hear he got 99% approval. \n\nLesson: If you do not specify the source, the rating is meaningless.

I believe it is the lowest any president has ever had. Even Herbert Hoover during the depths of the Depression had a higher approval rating. Bush has systematically ruined this country's economy, military, border defenses, and environment. Enough is enough.

Where do you live - on Mars?  \nLet see, what was it yesterday, 33% approval.\n\nWell, if his popularity, trustworthiness and job approval ratings complement his hate ratings I guess the ignorant Liberals don't have to worry about November.

Approval Ratings polls should be taken with a grain of salt for two reasons. First, people are essentially like lemmings adopting the flavor of the day in opinions. Secondly, these polls are based on interviewing 1000 people. In my opinion, this is way too small a sample to get an accurate picture of the nation.\n\nThe simple fact is that every issue is exploited to an extent by both sides for political gain. This is the sad truth, and I am afraid not much can be done about it. All in all, I think a 36% approval rating is lower than he deserves. \nWar is never popular, but his handling of Katrina is being twisted by the left for political gain. He spoke with Gov. Blanco before and during the heighth of the storm, asking her repetitively to declare a disaster. This would allow the Federal Gov't to take over, but she refused. Your president is not a First Responder. The blame belongs on the state and local governments.\n\nThe ports deal is another example, although I am increasingly of the position that it was a very clever smokescreen by the administration designed primarily to secure an easy passage of the Patriot Act renewal.

Are you kidding with this question?  His approval rating is 29%.  Does that tell you anything?

since this year, major polling organizations have showed that george w. bush suffers from an overwhelming public disapproval rate. \n\nthe highest approval rating he received was 47% (with a disapproval rating of 50%) during the january 22 to 25 period conducted by Cook/RT Strategies. the worst rating he received so far was a 33% approval rating and a 57% disapproval rating conducted by Pew during the March 8 to 12 period, and a 60% disapproval rating (and a 37% approval rating) during the march 6-8 period conducted by AP-Ipsos and march 10-12 conducted by CNN/USA Today/Gallup (36% approval rating). you can see more trends at the pollingreport.com site.\n\nhttp://www.pollingreport.com/BushJob.htm\n\nit is worthy to note that, except for the march 2-5 period, bush has not received an approval rating above 40% for the month of march. \n\n\nwhy did he get voted into office? methinks that the republican party is very popular in the central-midwest regions of the US, where bush focused on the issues of family values and security (antiterrorism)-- issues that strike the heart of the people there. there are more voters in those areas combined, compared the pacific and east coasts, which voted for the democratic party.\n\nbut now people are growing more aware of the unbelievable cost of the war on iraq (which is now worth $250.3 billion, as of this writing), the growing casualties, the revelation that there are no weapons of mass destruction found in iraq. hence, his popularity is sliding even among his voters.

jason- are you kidding? Bush has the lowest approval rating among latin americans of any president in history. I sure hope someone does something about the current administration. Legal immigrants---get out there and vote!

I know!  I've noticed that too.  Most of the people I know HATE Bush, his ratings are low, and the Congress that supports him had a recent 16% approval rating.  I even know some moderate Republicans that voted Democrat this year.\n\nYet people still say that "liberals are idiots" and "Bush is great."  Don't they realize that most of America and practically ALL of the world disagree with them?  Yet they still act all high and mighty.\n\nQuite a god complex they have, isn't it?\n\nBUSH SUCKS!!

It's way too early to judge George W Bush but historically speaking  most rate U.S. Grant as the worst president.. Not so much because of Grant himself but because he  brought in friends and family into the executive most of which turned out to be of low character. The Grant admistration was wrackme by corruption , payoffs and scandal.\nso there YOu have it US GRANT

Yes, and i still bring up this argument when talking politics with an avid Reagan/bush/bush fan. It is hard not to forget that Reagan plunged the national debt to levels previously unheard. But let us not forget that the economy took a horrible hit as well, with FIFTY percent of farmers(just mentioning one of the hard it economic groups) nation wide going bankrupt thanks to his trickle down economics. Lets us learn from one of the worst presidents ever and try not to vote another one in...uh...wait..damn, to late.

thats what most people do.  In america we contridict everything.  President bush's approval rating was the highest of any president ever at 96% after he said we are going to was after 9/11.  Then we went and people started dieing then people relized the reality and his approval rating went down to 46%.  the right man will always lead this country.  we just need to stop critque things after the happen and pointing fingers.\n\nMatt
