Nixon territory

Even Jimmy Carter fared better:
The new numbers—a 2 point drop from the last NEWSWEEK Poll at the beginning of May—are statistically unchanged, given the poll’s 4 point margin of error. But the 26 percent rating puts Bush lower than Jimmy Carter, who sunk to his nadir of 28 percent in a Gallup poll in June 1979. In fact, the only president in the last 35 years to score lower than Bush is Richard Nixon. Nixon’s approval rating tumbled to 23 percent in January 1974, seven months before his resignation over the botched Watergate break-in.

8:30 AM | In the same poll The Democratic Congress got even lower ratings. But don't report that!
As far as the comparison with Jimmy Carter well, It's the economy stupid.

I think I'll take the Bush economy over the Carter one anytime. I'd almost take the Great Depression over the Carter economy.

If your only expectation from our president is that his economy perform "better" than that of the economy during the Carter Administration...then you must have very low expectations. I'm not really sure I understand what one economy has to do with the other.

I don't think he said that was his only expectation. He merely responded to another post.
