Bush was the lowest rated president in history at that point

From Wiki:
His approval rating was about 50% at the time, and his disapproval numbers were in the 30's. Not nearly "the lowest rated president in history at that point".
EDIT: BTW, that's not a poll conducted by a conservative observer like, say, Fox News. Those numbers are from CBS News/NY Times polls.
