Well, it just seems that figures show George W. Bush was truly the worst modern President.
Why not compare those approval ratings and figure out who American voters thought was the worst modern President? Oh, for anyone who cannot do the math - it is GW Bush.
Carter - exit approval rating of 44%.
George W. Bush - exit approval rating of 21%.
President Obama - current approval rating of 41%.

Nice try, but a lame spin. Under Carter the country was in a malaise and people were in distress that has only been topped by the total incompetence of the present resident of the WH. Remember the "misery index"?; remember the flags outside the gas station to tell you when it was OK for you to buy gas?
GW's presidency ended with 5.7% unemployment and a AAA Credit rating. I do the math just fine.
Question unanswered: How would McCain have been worse? I know why no one has answered, but I'm having fun.
