Interesting Polls

[Rupert Pupkin]

I just read a Newsweek article that said that Bush' approval rating is 31% right now. I know how wildly these polls can swing. At one time, his approval rating was 90%.

Anyway, this is the lowest his approval rating his been but it's not unusual for a President's approval rating to be this low at some point. When you look at all the Presidents of the last 40 years, they all had extremely low approval ratings at some point during their Presidency. Clinton's approval rating was as low as 36%, George Bush Senior's approval rating was as low as 29%, Reagan's was 35%, Jimmy Carter's was 28%, and Nixon's was 23%.

I didn't realize that every single President the last 40 years had numbers so low at some point during their Presidency.
