Lowest President job approval rating ever?

Who's the current record holder?

This was already discussed in another thread. Truman holds the record for the lowest approval rating in modern opinion polls. He had 23% after he fired Gen. MacArthur during the Korean War. Nixon is a close 2nd with 24% just before he resigned.

A better question would be... "Which President presided over the worst economy since WWII.

Now that honor would go to Jimmy Carter.

Not US though, but Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian has a current approval rating in the low double digits.

I would also assume that President Idi Amin had not only a low approval rating, but bad taste in people..

Could he really help what the republican before him had done ?

Boris Yeltsin had an approval rating of 8% a short time before he won re-election against the communists in 1996. Some sources on the net cite his rating at the lowest was a mere 2%
