Polls brand Bush as worst US president
George Bush faced his toughest test yet when he gave the State of the Union address- as the most unpopular US leader in history. Bush's approval ratings were the lowest for any president the day before a State of the Union speech since Richard Nixon in 1974. In the most damning survey, 65 per cent said they disapprove of how he handles his job as president. And 71 per cent of Americans said the country is on the wrong track. Many polled in a Washington Post/ABC survey also admitted they don't approve of Bush's policies on the Iraq war, terrorism or the economy.
