Most Unpopular President So Far

So Bush finally became the most unpopular president in polling history. What took so long? It shows that it takes nearly total system collapse for the country to forget the drummed-up fear post-9/11.

Now, in terms of unpopularity, I understand Nixon's low numbers, but why was Truman so unpopular? Should his numbers even be counted, considering that in 1952 the last deeply unpopular president was Hoover and that was 20 years before. I mean, compared to the angelic (at the end) FDR, who wouldn't have been unpopular?

Well this Explainer explains the whole basis for the unpopularity (yet he doesn't get my point, ah well).
