Americans like George W. Bush better than President Obama: poll - New York Daily News

Bush is looking better through the rear-view mirror.



A new poll released Wednesday shows that Americans have a more positive view of former President George W. Bush than they do of their current commander-in-chief, Barack Obama.



The CNN-ORC poll shows that 52% of Americans have a positive view of Bush, compared to 43% who have a negative view of him.



By contrast, 49% of those polled said they have a positive view of Obama, while another 49% said they had a negative one.



Obama’s ratings mark a noticeable downshift from his numbers earlier this year. A similar CNN/ORC poll from March showed that 52% of people had a positive view of Obama then, compared to 46% who had a negative view.



On the other hand, the latest poll marks a sea change in the way people view Bush, who left office in 2009 with some of the lowest approval ratings that any President has had in modern history.



A CBS News poll taken in January 2009 showed that only 22% of Americans approved of his job as President, making him one of the most unpopular departing commanders-in-chief in history.
