George W. Bush’s favorable rating lowest of any living president, poll shows

President George W. Bush had a low favorable rating when he left office, and he's still not popular, according to a CNN/ORC International poll released Thursday. In fact, he's the only living president with a favorable rating that's under 50 percent.

The polls shows that 43% of people questioned had a favorable opinion of Bush, with 54% saying they had an unfavorable view. That's the same favorable rating Bush had in 2010 in CNN polling, but it is up from his mid-30's favorable rating during 2009.

How might this play out in this year's presidential election? "Don't be surprised if the Obama campaign mentions the name of George W. Bush at every opportunity, and don't be surprised if that strategy works," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

When respondents were asked whether they are better or worse off than they were four years ago, they split, 44 percent to 43 percent. But when asked if they are better or worse off than they were "when Bush was president," 47 percent say they are better off compared to 41 percent who say they are worse off, the poll found.

Here's how the other living president's stack up: Bill Clinton, a 66 percent favorable rating and a 31 percent unfavorable; George H.W. Bush, a 59 percent favorable rating and 34 percent unfavorable; and Jimmy Carter, 54 percent favorable and 30 percent unfavorable.

The CNN poll was conducted by ORC International, with 1,009 adult Americans questioned by telephone from May 29-31. The survey's overall sampling error is plus or minus three percentage points.

The people who say they are worse off now wouldn't be able to comprehend the horrors of another Bush term following the economic collapse.

Don't be cruel to GWB. You've got a lot to thank him for...

They might get a chance, should they decide to elect Mitt. Of course, once he destroys the economy, the blame will go to Obama and whichever schmuck is elected to clean up Mitt's mess.

It's not going to get any better under Romney considering his economic team is made up of former Bush administration officials.

i thought this thread was about xfire, and no, I don't miss you. Obama campaigning on Bush's failures? It's been four fucking years and he sure as shit can't run on his own "accomplishments." I've had a negative opinion of Dear Leader before this election cycle, I must have a goddamned allergic reaction to him now.

It's interesting that Bush's favourable rating has gone up in the past three years given his role in the current state of America. I would have thought it would have taken years for him to see large gains.

I don't feel the need to start endless threads about myself, so no, Boob, it wasn't about me. Thanks for the endearing sentiment, though. I hope it warms your heart to know that I couldn't give a fuck less about you, either.

That is pertty fucking funny. Less people think they are better off now till you bring up Bush.

He should never see large gains. People are too forgiving.

I'd rather vote for Carter or Hillary than Barry. Another term with the neighborhood community organizer and this country is finished.

Don't forget he's the guy that claimed he paid 95% personal income tax.

Odd that this republic survived the War of 1812, where our capitol was burned. It survived the Civil War, where 600K-700K Americans lost their lives fighting each other. From WW I to WW II and later, the Cold War, it's quite odd that this republic has survived each and every challenge that time has thrown at it. But here, you claim (along with others on the far right) that another Obama term will just kill the country. An Obama term, in your opinion, poses greater risk to the republic than all of the things that I mentioned? Yeah, that is... "odd". But there is actually a philosophical explanation, which partially explains how you've come to this hyperbolic conclusion:


"Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --- John Kenneth Galbraith

A closer, better study of history might help you to add relativity to your thoughts and beliefs. Or maybe not. I don't know. :dunno: BTW, how are those income taxes coming along?

Stop making fun of this poor guy! He's being "taxed to death"! :1orglaugh

Future rep for post #15.

Making fun of our Asshat of the Year and all of his cohorts is kind of hard not to do. It's like they blame me for building the wall they keep crashing in to.
