44% Want Bush Back, Says Gallup Poll

According to a recent Gallup poll, on Digitaljournal.com:

Unquestionably one of the most unpopular Presidents in the history of the United States is George W. Bush and upon leaving office he also held one of the lowest approval ratings in the nation’s 234 year history with 22 per cent. However, some Americans want the 43rd President of the United States back, at least according to a Gallup poll that was released on Thursday.

Politico reports that 50 per cent of Americans prefer having the current President Barack Obama rather than his predecessor but 44 per cent want the former President back in office, which some may view as surprising.

Newsmax says:

The numbers against Bush are particularly striking, says Taegen Goddard’s Political Wire.

“Given the horrendous approval ratings Bush showed during his final term that’s somewhat of a surprise and an indication that voters are increasingly placing the blame on Obama for the country’s difficulties instead of giving him space because of the tough situation he inherited,” Goddard writes.
