The Daily News

Voters aren't just dissatisfied with President Bush - they think he's the worst President since World War II, according to a shocking new Quinnipiac University poll. Bush has sunk so low in the public's estimation that Richard Nixon, who resigned in disgrace after Watergate, looks good by comparison. While 34% of the poll participants rated Bush the worst President, Nixon got the thumbs down from 17% of 1,534 registered voters polled nationwide from May 23 to 30. And Democrats "just plain don't like President Bush," Quinnipiac pollster Maurice Carroll said. The war in Iraq is the primary reason for Bush's unpopularity. But even in the so-called red states, voters disapprove of Bush by a 52%-to-39% margin. Adding insult to injury, former President Bill Clinton emerged in the poll as the second best of the 11 postwar Presidents - right after Ronald Reagan.
