Further proof that rearranging the deck chairs won’t stop the Titanic from sinking.

Only two modern presidents have had lower ratings:  Jimmy Carter fell into the high 20’s, and Nixon, just before he resigned, was in the low 20’s. 

Clinton, by the way, never went below 43%.  That was his lowest approval rating, and it happened briefly and early in his presidency (1993). 

In Clinton’s second term, he never went below 50% in any poll.   By comparison — since his re-inauguration in January 2005, Bush has never been above 50%, in any poll (even Fox News).
