George W. Bush has stepped out of the public eye since leaving office, but absence hasn't made the nation’s heart grow fonder.
The 43rd President of the United States is the most unpopular living former president, a CNN/ORC International poll has found, as only 43% of people surveyed said they had a favorable opinion of him and 54% viewed him unfavorably.
The negative rating puts Bush far behind his fellow living ex-Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Dubya’s father, George H.W. Bush.
Clinton nabbed a 66% favorable rating, Carter scored a 54% rating, and 59% of those polled said they had a positive view of Bush Sr.

W never met an authorization bill he didn’t like.
Someone that has studied and appreciates Harding!
Kudos. Harding actually abolished discrimination in D.C. after the liberal racist Wilson assigned separate toilets & washrooms for the “colored”.
I agree with your choices.
Blessings, Bobo
Yeah, but there was such a weapon as a “veto”.
Blessings, Bobo
Yes, I automatically trust any poll sponsored by CNN. They have no bias or agenda whatsoever, especially during an election year. /s
Among the worst presidents, Carter is the king.

The USA is going to hell in a handbasket in every conceivable way.
Any nation where the evil rapist scumbag Bill Clinton has 66% popularity, deserves what it is going to get.
I still can’t wait until Bill Clinton dies from his STDs so I can piss on his grave, and he damn well better not be buried in Arlington. I can’t piss on his grave in Arlington.
I would put Lincoln dead last myself.
Are they kidding?? Carter was HANDS DOWN the worst EX president! (Obama will take that place of honor as soon as he is booted out of the White House in November). Bush’s disastrous last two years were the result of a democrat-controlled congress.
Bush is a good man. He might not have been the best president, but he loves his country and our military. He has far more class than Carter, Clinton and, especially, Obama.
Article doesn’t say anything about the polling sample, so I don’t consider this worthy. Bush got a bad rap from day one as the media went after him with unrelenting abuse for defeating their darling, Al Gore. Only break came when 9-11 occurred. Yes, spending was bad but worsened significantly under Democratic controlled Congress. Dodd-Frank deserve far more credit for economic collapse than Bush, but they’re protected Democrats, especially since Frank is gay. I think history will elevate his position but only if we have honest historians in the future. Galls me to see how history is being rewritten to suit the author’s point of view.
Well you have to admit a CNN poll is always good for a laugh. Remember this one?

Their less accurate than a coin flip.

I agree. I guarantee that the people polled were not around when Jimmah was president.
Or the poll is a complete fabrication.
No surprises here..
Journalists' Feeeeeeeeelings Influence Public Opinion
Those whom the "journalists" hate are soon hated by the apolitical

Lets examine the Sample Used! Knowing the Daily News,
the sample likely contained 70% Democrats 20% Independants,
and 10 % Republicans! You also appear to be somewhat Negative on one of America’s Greatest Presidents! Oh Well!
History will be very kind to George W. Bush.
