Charlotte, NC

Well, it looks like the people have spoken …

A new national poll shows that three out of four Americans feel he’s leaving not a moment too soon.
Seventy-five percent of those questioned (it was a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey) released Friday said they’re glad Bush is going (hey … twenty-eight percent of those said President Bush is the worst president in U.S. history); only 23 percent said they’d miss him.

“Earlier this year, Bush scored some of the lowest presidential approval ratings we’ve seen in half a century, so it’s understandable that the public is eager for a new president to step in,” the polling director, Keating Holland, said.
And CNN’s senior political analyst, Bill Schneider, added, “As President Bush prepares to leave office, the American public has a parting thought: Good riddance. At least that’s the way three-quarters feel.”

Now, compare that with the 51 percent who said they wouldn’t miss President Bill Clinton when he left office in January 2001. Forty-five percent of those questioned at that time said they would miss Clinton.
So it obviously shows that Bush compares poorly with his presidential predecessors.

Only a third of those who were polled said they hope he’ll remain active in public life after he leaves the White House. Still, that’s 22 points lower than those in 2001 who wanted Bill Clinton to retain a public role.
