Lage classificatie van de de klappen de nieuwe goedkeuring van Bush

Populariteit van Harry Truman's daalde aanzienlijk tijdens de laatste twee jaar van zijn tijd in bureau. Richard Nixon was also in the lows for thirteen months before resigning over the Watergate scandal.

A Gallup Poll analyst Jeffrey Jones says “It’s pretty hard for a president to get ratings this low in general, and then to be in the position where you basically don’t budge - that’s been reserved for some of the least popular presidents during the worst times of the last 60 years.”

Jones believes President Bush is on the verge of joining Nixon and Truman as the only presidents to average approval ratings below 40 percent.

Gallup’s average approval rating for presidents is 55 percent. While former U.S. President Bill Clinton averaged 61 percent in his second term, Bush has a second-term average of 41 percent.

In light of the increase in violence in Iraq, Bush dipped below 40 percent in October, 2006 and his standing hasn’t risen above that level since then.
