Dubya's hard work pays off!

Most unpopular president ever in the history of polling.

After 7 years of hard work, he's finally surpassed the previous record of 67% disapproval set by Harry Truman in 1952.

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.

Bush's new mark of 69% tops Carter in the malaise years and Nixon at Watergate's height. He even managed to top his dad's recession era numbers.

Quite a turnaround, especially considering that, post 9-11, he enjoyed the highest approval in Gallup's history.

Rightwing radio like to label those who oppose the White House as having "Bush Derangement Syndrome." That's a hard argument to make, considering that nearly 70% of the country feels that way.
