Bush most unpopular president on record, according to new CNN poll

Wasn't he the most unpopular president when he got re-elected too!

Illinois legislators* are working to pass a sort of amendment in the state that would allow them to boot any governer that is disliked or doesn't fit the bill. It would be interesting to see if the US congress would consider doing the same.

Although I could foresee appossing parties continually trying to eject the other parties president. But the current situation HAS definatly called for drastic action.

Tell me something new. W. is not just the worst president ever, this is the dumbest America ever. And guess what...America is getting dumber... America is about to elect Mcclinton( The choice(s) of the WAR PROFITEERING OLIGARCHS now running this country.
Hey AL, where ya at? This country needs a good Philosopher King about now!

Impeach!

What did the terrorist that are trying kill us do, that is so much better than our president, this channel is a brainwashed mainstream meltdown

When I started reading your reply I thought, wow, this person is really suppressed by the mainstream. When I saw your profile picture there was no need for more spectualtion. I would rather not engage a person who advertises anti-white racism, and that embraces pictures of a divided time in this nation from a century ago, and displays the picture as a sort of symbol of individualism, when its actually a mass cultists agenda that promotes the degradation of an already divided, but great nation.

I will say your that your ,"now apparent ", agenda based rhetoric of The energy crises is completely wrong.

And how many in that 71% voted for him twice?

Forget the polls, it was our time to have a president like Bush. I do agree that his intelligence is below average to be a president. The first rule for crime is don't get caught. This dummy tells the truth when he should lie and tells a lie when he should tell the truth. And how could congress allow the beginning of a War against another country because someone threated to kill his father. Hay, his father should be dead anyway, he wasn't a good president either, and all of the dirt he done to Sadaam. And maybe that threat came from Sadaam because the Sr. Bush threaten him first.

911 was organized by this administration in order to start a war with Sadaam because of that threat. I don't understand how Afghan allegedly sent the planes and Sadaam gets hung but we haven't found Bin Laden yet. Wake up Americans, we are in for a rule awakening. If we don't go after Bush legally after his term ends, there is going to be other republican presidents that will do the same if not worse things to us. Hell, we may be put in boot camps for almost anything. The country is broke, but he comes up with billions to fight a war. Has he not watched Russian lose their shirts over a war that they lost anyway. How is helping Israel going to help us. This is also Cheney's idea of paying back the middle east. You get 2 people in control and they go after revenge.

Believe me when I say that what goes around comes around. Now once the war ends, we are going to see the worst terriorism in history because we allow anybody that wants to enter our country right on in the land of opportunity. We don't do background checks like they do on us to get a job here in US, we just let them in. This country is going to go to hell for the next 4 years no matter who wins the election. All I want to know is what happen to the planes that hit the World Towers and the Pentagon and what happen to the plane that landed in the field in PA. Although the WT's fell, they could not find any parts of a plane and for the government to have war games the day of, why wasn't we the people notified. Maybe those planes were bombs and where are the people. It may sound crazy but think people before you judge, something is going on bigger then we acknowledge. I know that a friend of mine lost her son but she has not to this day recovered her son's body.

You heard Me!

Agreed ice_cream_man. Kerry's a tool. I'm ashamed to have voted for him.

If Kerry was any kind of stand-up guy, he would have stopped those cops in Florida from tazering that college student. Instead he pretended that shit wasn't happening.

Just another puppet to the political stage.

DO SOMETHING

THEY ARE KILLING MY AMERICA, YOUR AMERICA,IF THEY HAD A HEART ATTACK, WOULD THEY THINK DIFFERENT ABOUT LIFE, OR IS LIFE ALL ABOUT MONEY&GREED. DID YOU EVER SEE A BRINKS TRUCK BEHIND A FUNERAL PROCESSION, SOME PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HATE TO DIE BECAUSE THEY CANT TAKE IT WITH THEM . RIGHT WINGERS FOR SURE. CMON TAKE CARE OF AMERICA IT MIGHT ALREADY BE TO LATE YOUR OWN GOVERMENT IS SELLING US OUT . GREEDY BASTARDS, THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT

Definitely not surprising. I guess he now replaces president Grant for the most unpopular and scandalous terms in U.S. history.

The greater difference is that Bush isn't and never has been a war hero. He's a flunkie who had a great time at Harvard, riding on his dads money. Our poor, poor, country...

I dont think Kerry would have done any better as president.

Its interesting that its taken the average american populous 8 environmentally, politically and socially damaging years to deem George Bush as "the most unpopular president" who shows the country in poor light.
Why couldn't the people think objectively during the 2004 race before they let him win a second equally damaging term.

because this c average president ruin my life dream of running an electrical business. Ive been in business for 7 years and now thanks to the economy i'm bankrupt. This is all i wanted to do with my life now its over

As I have said before, Bush is only one man in a group of individuals who profess to be the pillars of society supporting the fabric of our existence by embracing truth and honor with dignity, while in real truth, these same individuals are extremely embroiled in the insidious, undeniable, inexcusable, and unforgivable blatant betrayal of the Sacred Public Trust.
The irony of bringing Hitler into this conversation is that many of the methods used by these individuals are a carry-over from the Nazis...
The scary part is that they are more persistently determined to steal the show from us yet again in this upcoming election...beware my fine friends...

The only way to stop the ongoing political debauchery is to completelly expose this unbelievable charade and convict all of these people for their crimes against this nation and against humanity...

Tyranny is a deep-rooted seed...

Bush is so bad, he makes Nixon look good.
It's not BUSH, it's BUllSHit.

You can almost hear Nixon snickering in his grave.

HE COMES FROM A LONG LINE OF UNPOPULAR PEOPLE....

WHATS NEW

The US government loves to poll but hates to act.

I think malathion's comment should be featured on current. seriously.

Blah Blah Blah and every one still hates him. Thank you for pointing that out capt'n obvious, but why is he still reigning over us as "the decider?" I don't need our shadowy over lords laughing at us commoners.

Laugh while you can, this country will be ours again someday. Right now I say we can't create anarchy because some one else will just seize the power and leave us with the chance of even worse condition. Or, besides that, we could stop using their currency, but that would just allow them the chance to intoroduce new cash, (Amero), and leave us again at their feet.

Maybe it is all hopeless... And that coming from an 18 year old. What the fuck...

I don't need a so called "free press" to tell me the president is a joke.

continuing eldamon's bush/hitler comparison , hitler once said that the bigger the lie and the more unbelievable it was , the more likely people would be to accept it , as people are incapable of thinking their leaders would lie to them on a scale so massive that it would compromise the security of the entire nation - in this one respect bush is very much the equal of hitler .

Have any of you noticed the approval rating of our democratic controlled congress? It's even lower than the presidents rating, by 10 points. They all said during their campaigns that once they got control of congress they would bring home the troops, fix gas prices, fix the economy, immigration. What happened? NOTHING Call your congressman and ask them why they have done nothing!

great graph, i've bookmarked it.

71% disaprove of his ways and also know he's an idiot...the other 29% are just as stupid as he is.

I wasn't trying to defend Bush. Actually I was saying it was insulting to Hitler and Hussein to compare them to Bush.

And I truly have to believe Bush is responsible for more deaths over all the Bin Laden.

Who is more dangerous to Americans? Bush or Bin Laden? Both have killed as many Americans.....

I'm surprised there's still 29 percent approval. Who are those people? rednecks? republicans? oil buddies? military? evangelicals?

I don't think that anyone is suprised... or at least I hope not (I'm serious). How unfortunate it is that the only part of his legacy that most will remember is having an administration that resulted in the largest voter turn on record and being the most unpopular president on record. Way-to-go Mr. President... 1.20.09 awaits your departure.

Not to defend Hitler or Hussein but they were efficient (ubber efficient) ruthless dictators where as Bush is an incompetent failure. Hitler was within reach of total world domination and Hussein was the geo-political lock that held perennially warring sects and sworn blood enemies in check, neither and easy task to say the least. What is Bush's major accomplishment?

So... any chance he'll be held accountable for anything?

As sad as it is, Al Gore or John Kerry wouldn't have been any better as president, in saying that, Bush is still an idiot and incredibly bad president.

"Give me a guy with an IQ that sets off smoke alarms."

Love it eldamon! We let the last one get away.

Me too. My beer drinking buddy is not someone I want running the show.

Although, I cant see how he can be termed a bad "president." Squatter seems more appropriate.

I'm not entirely sure this is actually news. This is what happens when put your beer drinking, just like me "buddy" in office. I don't want the guy/girl next door as the next prez. Give me a guy with an IQ that sets off smoke alarms.

"So?"

---Love,
Dick Cheney

I think saying Bush is the worst president is a fair assessment. Every president (including the next incumbent) will do wrong headed and sometimes atrocious things, but this president does not even posses the intelligence to read his prepared statements properly. There is absolutely no reason why he should stumble through a speech given to him in advance that is also sitting on the podium in front of him. The guy is wildly lazy and full of himself enough to assume he can 'wing' a presidential statement.

The buck stops at Bush. By far the worst. Evil comes to mind.

I think there are a few contenders for this mantle. Woodrow Wilson, anyone?

I think Bush is a bad president, but I think that the far worse threat comes from the people he listens to.

Cheney's response .. so? Wow, how out of touch can a human be ..

haha... what's Cheney's approval rating? Somewhere between smallpox and cannibalism I'd imagine?

I wonder if people still want to have a beer with him?

I can't believe he has a higher disapproval rating than Nixon, but I guess he has committed more than one equivalent of watergate in his 7 years of being our 'leader'. At least he's been pretty good at uniting us against him!

Jodes:

Terrorist oil? Absolute nonsense.
Bush isn't freeing anyone from anything, freedom is the anti-thesis of the Bush administration. 4000+ soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people have died so you can call widespread disapproval and researched articles "useless jargon".

Presidental elections are just overglorified popularity contests, so to call approval ratings "useless jargon" shows how biased your opinion really is.

I can't take this shit anymore, I am so sick of people justifying this sort of conduct. Bush and Cheney are war criminals, they should be arrested, yet my impression is that people will let them continue to do what they are doing and Congress has no motivation to do anything about it. I am TIRED of being ruled by a corrupt government, and I am going to do something about it!

Despite spectators and Liberals elites useless jargon.
Bush is trying to free us from terrorist oil. Clinton vetoed this same mandate. Bush has been putting U.S. oil independence in the Democratic houses face since his has been in office.

And? The fact that he is still in power shows we are then the most apathetic people. We should have marched on Washington DC long ago to petition the Congress that works for US and clean that White House out and arrest them. Polls mean nothing. But I'm sure Democrats will use it to get votes like they do everything else. That's why they let him stay, because 'elections' mean more to them than the Constitution. And whether he is the most 'unpopular' or not in a poll does nothing from now until next January to wrest the power we the people allowed him to take to be diminshed. So what good is it? I suppose should he and his insane counterparts actually attack Iran we will only then be concerned with 'poll numbers' about how 'more' unpopular he is. This country has truly jumped the shark. War criminals should not only be 'unpopular' they should be on trial. But of course, we won't see anything happen to them here.They will get away with their crimes against humanity and the American people while we continue to place credence in polls as if that makes us any less part of the guilt by keeping them in power.

And, those statistics are probably fluffed up to make him look better.
