Bush was not this low until the end of his first term and then it was not lower until a year into his second term.
Obama's approval rating has crashed. At the beginning of his term only 20% disapproved of his job performance and now over 50% disapprove. Bush's disapproval rating did not reach this level until 8/8/2005.
For the record, I never liked Bush.

Recent Presidents isn't really cherry picking.
Anyway, a high of 65% to 42% low, is crashed? Umm... Reagan went from about 62% to 35% in his first two years. Based on when Reagan started to turn things around, it would be mid 2011 for Obama - and Obama was handed a much worse situation.
Btw, just before Bush was reelected he hit 45%, only serging slightly at election time. He went from a high of 90% after 9/11 down to 25%, straight down. If you take out 9/11 he started about 55% and went straight to 25%. That's crashed, that's about as crashed as a person can get.
No worries, Reagan took office, in 81 and on 1/28/83 was his highest disapproval rating of 56%. Obama is doing just fine even against the all mighty Reagan that republicans and nut wringers Goo over.
