Gallup
October 7, 2008
PRINCETON, NJ â President Bushâs job approval rating is at 25% in the latest Oct. 3-5 Gallup Poll, the lowest of the Bush administration, and only three percentage points above the lowest presidential approval rating in Gallup Poll history.
Bushâs previous low point was 27%, measured about a week ago. The 25% approval rating is one point higher than Richard Nixonâs lowest job approval rating of 24% measured in the summer of 1974, and it is just three points higher than Harry Trumanâs all-time Gallup low job approval rating of 22% measured in 1952. No other presidents have had job approval ratings of 27% or lower in Gallup Poll history.
