Bush Disapproval Ratings Reach All Time High.

Bush is now more unpopular than Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate. By a lot.

In general, I don't report much on the George W. Bush's approval ratings, in part because they've become rather predictable. "He's very unpopular," I can hear you saying. "We get it."



But when the president reaches certain milestones in unpopularity, it's probably worth making note of it.



As President-elect Obama visits the White House, a new national poll suggests that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is the most unpopular president in the six decades since presidential approval ratings were first measured.


Seventy-six percent of those questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Monday disapprove of how George W. Bush is handling his job as President. That's an all-time high in CNN polling, or in Gallup polling dating back to World War II.


"No other president's disapproval rating has gone higher than 70 percent. Bush has managed to do that three times so far this year," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "That means that Bush is now more unpopular than Richard Nixon was when he resigned from office during Watergate with a 66 percent disapproval rating."


In fact, the Nixon comparison is illustrative in its severity. Nixon, exposed as a criminal and in the midst of becoming the only president to ever resign from office in disgrace, was 10 points more popular than Bush is now. (CNN released a handy chart on the subject.)



And speaking of presidents and polls, the latest Gallup poll shows Barack Obama with a 68% "favorable rating," which is up six points from the last poll conducted before the election. This isn't quite the same this as a job-approval rating -- Obama hasn't taken office yet, obviously -- but this does make Obama one of the most popular president-elects in recent times.

And the DEMOCRATIC Congress rating?

He wants to conviently ignore that. Their disapproval rating is higher than the Presidents.

Would you like for me to post what the all republican controlled congress rated?

6 years of a Republican controlled congress that gave Bush everything - and 2 years of a Democrat Congress?
with NO veto over-ride power to reign in the President. Who is more responsible for the current mess we're in?

YOU are JJP Now keep your promise and git!

Only 25% in Poll Approve of the Congress.

With barely seven weeks until the midterm elections, Americans have an overwhelmingly negative view of the Republican-controlled Congress, with substantial majorities saying that they disapprove of the job it is doing and that its members do not deserve re-election, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

Bush's low ratings are for his policies, scandals and lies.

The Congress has lower ratings for not stopping him.

Congress' Approval Rating Ties Lowest in Gallup Records

It looks to me that both parties need to get it right. The numbers are pathetic for both to be the leaders of this country.

You got that right Flo.

The Democrats took control of Congress in the 2006 election. They were elected as a rejection of Bush and Republican policies, like end the war. They did nothing and it is why they have such a low rating.

The Democrats are divided by "Blue Dog" Democrats and Corporate Democrats which dilute their effectiveness to serve the people.

Never trust a admitted liar and troop hater.
