CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider adds, "He [G. W. Bush] is more unpopular than Richard Nixon was just before he resigned from the presidency in August 1974." President Nixon's disapproval rating in August 1974 stood at 67 percent

or this

With 18 months left in office, he is in the running for most unpopular president in the history of modern polling. The latest Washington Post-ABC News survey shows that 65 percent of Americans disapprove of Bush's job performance, matching his all-time low.

Even if your claims were true about Nixon and Carter (which you are not) being lower, fine company Mr. Bush is in. Really something to be proud of.

Or how about this?

End-of-Presidency Job Approval Ratings
President	Rating (%)	Election Results
Bill Clinton (2 terms, D, 2001)	65	VP Gore (D) wins popular vote but Bush (R) wins electoral college vote
Ronald Reagan (2 terms, R, 1989)	64	VP Bush (R) defeats Dukakis (D)
John F. Kennedy (partial term, D, 1963)	63	(VP) Johnson (D) defeats Goldwater (R)
Dwight Eisenhower (2 terms, R, 1961)	59	Kennedy (D) defeats Nixon (R)
George Bush (1 term, R, 1993)	56	Clinton (D) defeats Bush (R)
Gerald Ford (partial term, R, 1977)	53	Carter (D) defeats Ford (R)
Lyndon Johnson (1+ terms, D, 1969)	49	Nixon (R) defeats Humphrey (Johnson did not run) (D)
Jimmy Carter (1 term, D, 1981)	34	Reagan (R) defeats Carter (D)
Richard Nixon (partial term, R, 1974)	24	Carter (D) defeats (VP) Ford (R)

And here is a Reuter's report "Bush's job approval rating fell to 24 percent from last month's record low for a Zogby poll of 29 percent" that shows Nixon and Bush competing for the bottom.

NB: Nixon would have been impeached; all evidence suggested he abused his executive privilege and broke the law. Bush didn't have to do any of that. He was just himself!

Case closed.
