President George W. Bush had a 90 percent approval rating after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001--the highest approval rating of any president.
Around 28 percent
The President's Approval Rating is a measure of how much the people like the President at any given time during his term of office. As of July 30, 2014, President Obama's approval rating sat at 46 percent.
The presidential approval rate is a rating that measures how well Americans thinks the President is doing his job. Current president Barack Obama has a presidential approval rate of 43 percent.
George Washington has the highest aprroval rating ever. He was unanimously voted the first president of the United States. He received 100% of the votes for president! Correction: George Washington was not elected. He was appointed President by the Continental Congress. Believe it or not, George W. Bush held the record for the highest approval rating of 92% after the 9/11 attacks...(that record isn't doing too well anymore.) Most of the older presidents didn't take approval rating tests.
Truman's lowest approval rating was 22%
His approval rating is very low, at about 40%.
He was not and his approval rating was low.
Impeachment of the President has nothing to do with approval rating. Impeachment is a criminal proceeding against a sitting president. There have been two in US history, Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton; both were acquitted.
Based on early approval ratings at the start of his term, it would seem that the American public liked President Barack Obama better than President George W. Bush, who had a very low approval rating in the polls at the end of his two terms just before President Obama assumed office.
The president's approval rating goes up if he appears to be taking effective steps to solve whatever problems the people are most worried about at the moment. It drops rapidly if these steps do not produce any improvement .
The Iran Hostage Crisis in 1979 had a strong effect on President Carter's approval rating. Iran released the hostages the day Ronald Reagan was inaugurated.
If you are talking about George W. Bush, then he had a very high approval rating when he was elected for president. When 9/11 came about, he handled the tragedy so well, his approval rating was raising. After 9/11, President George W. Bush protected us from terrorism, which is what most people can't see is that he protected us but a lot of people hated him. I don't know why so many people hate him after he tried to protect us. Hope that answers your question.
George H.W. Bush left office with an approval rating of 65%. It is thought by many that he lost his second term only because of a mistake in the counting of votes in the states Ohio, Iowa and Virginia. Bill Clinton left office with an approval rating of 42%. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply lying.
