   Big deal......look at the last several president's lowest numbers.
  
   Table 1. Presidential Approval Ratings, 1953-1999 (11)

   Kennedy            70           83        56

   Good point for once, **** for brains! The only two anywhere NEAR are
   Nixon, and Carter!!!
 
  Clinton was at 37% at one point in his Presidency...which matches CBS's
  current number.
 
  Oh, so now in order to spin, you find lowest of the low numbers from
  any poll, then match them to the highest low number for Bush from any
  poll. Nice.
 
 The lowest Bush approval rating in *any* of the polls is 37%...and it came
 in a CBS News poll.
 The lowest Clinton approval rating according to *Gallup* was 37%.  If you
 want a true apples to apples comparison, then let's look at Gallup's
 lowest-ever number for Bush:  40%...which is three points higher than
 Clinton's lowest approval rating.
A "true apples to apples comparison" would be each and every poll for
Clinton, through his first and second terms, compared to each and every
poll for Bush, through his first and second terms.
