certainly not a surprise

Bush, Nixon are most unpopular presidents ever.

A new Rasmussen analysis finds that George Washington continues to be the nation’s most popular president, with 94 percent of Americans viewing the Father of our Country favorably. The highest unfavorable rating for any president — 60 percent — is earned by Richard Nixon.” But close “Nixon’s heels for most unpopular is the current president, George W. Bush. Fifty-nine percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.”

The only surprise is that bush only has a 59% unfavorable rating. I would think that it would be closer to 100%. I'm sure that bush will surpass Nixon before his tenure is through.
