Has any president had a lower rating than President Bush's current approval of only 33%?

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.

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%.

As the media is generally controlled by the powers-that-be\nand his "rating" is in the low 30's\nI would guess in actuallity that his true numbers are in the 17-25 percent range.\n\nI can't stand that Illiterate Hillbilly!

No one likes him...that's why he has the lowest approval ratings of any president in history!!!

I'm going to guess the 51% of people who voted for Bush.  No, that number is probably smaller because most people just don't care.

GEORGE W BUSH.\n\nAnd the correct phrase is what president HAS the lowest rating.  \n\n34%.  How much lower can you get?  Even Nixon had a higher rating after Watergate.\n\nFor all of you saying Nixon, I have links below that say otherwise.  Jeeze.

Bush has done better than average with the hand he has been dealt while he has been President. While he is in no way the greatest President of all time. It usually takes an uber-lib to come out with the adjectives such as "pathetic".... especially when stating the "failure" without specific evidence as to how he has failed. (And NO, being in a war is not "failure")

Not much.  Just let the Repubs' approvals go lower and lower

Apparently not, since President Bush's approval rating has risen to the highest level since March recently.

Not at all. He deserves much, much worse. I'm still perplexed as to how that 34% still approve.

Bush has a 34% approval rating in the US. I wouldnt take any of what he says seriously.\n\nAnyway. I wish people would focus on the real issues.

Absolutely.  It has nothing to do with anything Clinton did or didn't do.  Bush is by far the worst leader in the history of Earth.

If you base it on his approval rating, then yes.  He has the worst approval rating of any President, including all war-time president's...\n\nI don't think his approval can sink much below the 30% mark, that is when you hit core republican bedrock.  Those 30% would probably still say he's doing a wonderful job even if we were paying $10 for a gallon of gas, we were in Iraq for 10 more years, unemployment sky-rocketed, minimum wage was never raised, only the wealthy could afford college education and millions of americans sank even further into poverty.  \n\nThat is pretty much true for both sides, when you hit about the 30% mark, you are hitting the core of the party.  Can't get much lower than that.

Bush's support is currently in the mid 30s. It has consistently gone down his whole time in office though, so it will probably drop further.

His ratings were very high at the end of '01.  However, they are not currently anywhere near that level.  He may well end his tenure having experienced both the highest and lowest approval ratings in history.

Hell if I know, but there's been worse presidents in history than Bush, as I'm sure we'll have more in the future that will make Bush look like an angel. \nI think people just like to focus on the hear and now rather than the bigger picture of things. \nPersonally, I'd perfer Bush over Clinton...but that's just me.
