Duh, because he’s the only one out of office for three and a half years.
Give it time. His statesmanship only serves to help his image (witness the portrait unveiling last week).
If Carter can rebound, anyone can.
The media are a parody of themselves.
Jimmy Carter....did he pass away? I cannot imagine he is above 50%!
I will never believe a bs cnn poll...who cares? their 12 person audience?
Well who cares? Former Speaker Pelosi says she “loved” the guy, just not his policies....it was funny to watch her praise President Bush.
LOL! Another CNN “poll”. Funny stuff.
Memo to CNN, George Bush is not on the ballot this November. Obama will not be running against George Bush...
LLS
My God!! Did CNN take a poll of what people thought of Carter in June of ‘84??
Completly worthless information. And they pay people to do this. I don’t have all that high an opinion of Bush myself, and I’m a republican. But I’m not interested, and do not spend a moment thinking about somebody that’s out of power. Those that ARE in power take up enough of my time!
All this proves is that state-controlled media never stops propagandizing.
Conservatives disdain Bush as much as the Liberals do. That’s the problem. He was a good man, but his policies weren’t the best. He tried to triangulate too much, in an effort to try to please everybody, and when you do that, you wind up pleasing nobody.
With modern Presidents like Carter I’d like to see the results where they only poll people who might have actually followed the news WHILE he was in office; say, those 16 or older during any time in his Presidency.
They just can’t help themselves!
The mainstream media fomented hatred for President Bush while he was in office, and it continues to this day.
1/2 of the things people believe about him are not even true.
After all the Bush bashing for the past 4 years from the media and Obama administration, I’m not surprised at this news. The truth never changes, but lies are all over the place. Bush will be vindicated, and ways Carter only dreamed of.
Pure media brainwashing. Fist, when 'Bush' is entered into the question an immediate knee-jerk shift occurs among a few percentage of those polled. This is why Obama continues to blame his predecessor in hopes of fooling these dolts.
Secondly, in terms of the the first polling result, there is hardly a person in America better off now than 4 years ago right now. Probably a few hundred people out of 300 million. Every single measurement shows we are worse off. Our income is down, our cost of living is up, joblessness is much higher, underemployment is much higher, the stock market is lower, our houses are worth much less. There are hundreds of thousands of fewer millionaires, massie increases in food stamps and government assistance in the middle to lower economic ranges, and virtually everyone in between is at best holding on to where they were. Only those few people who founded Facebook or hit a windfall are doing better and moving up the ladder instead of down it. It is sad we have such a gullible population that more than the 20% hard core marxists would answer that things are better. It is a real tragedy.
i believe this poll as much as i believed CNN exit polls from Wisconsin on Tuesday....
Yes, I’m glad he’s gone too. But this complete maroon now is the worst ever. I wonder if CNN will report on his ratings after he’s out next year.
Is Jimmy Carter dead?
