Truman twice sank into the low 30s and then rose into the 60s, but the third time his rating fell, it stayed below 40% as well. "
The Volokh Conspiracy - Polls on Presidential Approval Ratings:

Bush will forever have this Iraq war saddled upon his head.
What the hell else will people remember him for?
Attacking al Qaeda? ANYBODY would have done that. The potentially impressive part would have been if he had CAUGHT bin Laden, and he states he isn't interested in that.
Bush has DOUBLED the national debt. ONE president all by himself. DOUBLING it in six years.

You are dreaming if you think people will remember him positively.



There is over 60% of this nation who DISAPPROVE of Bush.
Reagan NEVER had opinion poll ratings as low as Bush has sunk. NEVER.



And alias is such a kind, warm-hearted, loving individual. Never vile. Never hateful.
< end sarcasm >
And never right about anything...



Oh give me a fricken break.
Analyst after analyst have pointed out that the Soviet Union WAS GOING TO COLLAPSE ANYWAYS. Reagan did nothing to CAUSE the U.S.S.R to collapse.
If anything, he moved the time scale up by a few months. That's IT.
That's ALL he did.
He doesn't get credit for "defeating" the Soviet Union. He was just on watch when the sick ol' bastard finally died.



And yet, in a poll finding out the best presidents and the worst presidents, Clinton took the second best spot. Followed, admittedly, by Reagan.
And who came in for the worst? BUSH. ROFLMAO!
Poll: Bush Worst President Since 1945, Ronald Reagan Picked As Best President In Nationwide Survey - CBS News

Bush was selected the WORST president since 1945!



Clinton got 370 electoral votes to Bush's 168.
Which states would have supposedly gone to Bush if Perot never ran?

Perot never took ANY states.

Name me which states would have supposedly gone to Bush if Perot hadn't run...

What an idiot. Perot didn't have to take any states. All he had to do was prevent Bush from taking enough to win which he did and that was his entire purpose.
