Just how unpopular is George W. Bush?

Jenna_bushThe 43rd President has spent the past week basking in the glow of his daughter's wedding. But Karl Rove may have shattered his bridal bubble. Here he is in the Washington Post:

Get your facts right -- there are at least three president who had worse approval ratings [than George W. Bush]: Truman, Johnson and Nixon.

Ouch. Talk about damning with faint praise. But, as the Fact Checker asks, is Rove even right?

His ratings are low, but the democratic controlled congress is even lower--funny, you don't write about that.
