That's post-Watergate Nixon, everybody.
From Politico:
CNN released a chart showing presidential "disapproval" ratings in CNN or Gallup polls for each president dating back to Harry Truman. This list shows the percentage of Americans who disapproved of the way each president was handling his job.
G.W. Bush 76% Now
Clinton 54% September, 1994
G.H.W. Bush 60% July, 1992
Reagan 56% January, 1983
Carter 59% June, 1979
Ford 46% April, 1975; November, 1975; December, 1975
Nixon 66% August, 1974
Johnson 52% March, 1968 and August, 1968
Kennedy 30% November, 1963
Eisenhower 36% March, 1958
Truman 67% January, 1952
And "Mission Accomplished" becomes the new "I am not a crook."
