It’s official - the worst in history
Bush’s disapproval rating 69% — worst of any president in the 70 year history of the Gallup Poll
WASHINGTON — President Bush has set a record he’d presumably prefer to avoid: the highest disapproval rating of any president in the 70-year history of the Gallup Poll.
In a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken Friday through Sunday, 28% of Americans approve of the job Bush is doing; 69% disapprove. The approval rating matches the low point of his presidency, and the disapproval sets a new high for any president since Franklin Roosevelt.
The previous record of 67% was reached by Harry Truman in January 1952, when the United States was enmeshed in the Korean War.
More encouraging was this:
Of independents, 23% approve, 72% disapprove of the job he’s doing.
And more good news, this is from Pennsylvania but is shaping up to be a national trend:
Since Jan. 1, more than 178,000 people in Pennsylvania have changed their party affiliations, and 92 percent of them have gone from Republican or independent to Democrat.
Looks like 69% of Americans have BDS, right Glen, Serr8d? #9?
Where is the GOP going?
