Bush vs Nixon

The bloggers at Tiny Revolution note that, since polling began, Nixon is the only two-term president with lower approval ratings at a comparable point in his presidency than GWB:

GALLUP
Johnson 66% (Oct. 1965)
Reagan 63% (Oct. 1985)
Clinton 57% (Oct. 1997)
Eisenhower 57% (Oct. 1957)
Truman 49% (Oct. 1949)
Bush 39% (Oct. 2005)
Nixon 29% (Oct. 1973)

They also graphed both Bush's approval rating and disapproval rating against Nixon's.















Also, if you go to Google Fight, "Bush and Corruption" beats "Nixon and Corruption" by a landslide, 12.9 million to 1.4 million.

Now I thought that might be a bit unfair to GWB, after all, dad's Iran Contra mess might be included. So I tried "'George W. Bush' and Corruption" vs. "'Richard Nixon' and Corruption" and Bush still beat Nixon 3.9 million to .4 million.
