With President Bush’s approval rating at 33 percent it comes as no surprise that his presidency, if it were to end today, would be viewed by political historians as a failure, according to a new survey by the Siena College Research Institute (SRI). In its expert opinion poll, SRI said 8 out of 10 history and political science professors put Bush’s ranking at “below average” or “failure,” with over two-thirds saying there’s little chance for him to improve his rating.
