''Truman's rating was pretty bad at the time he left office!!!!!!!!!!!! ''
His were 34 % which is considerably higher than Bush. At that time the McCarthy bandwagon was in full swing with accusations of Truman being a commie pouring in by the ton full every single day from McCarthy, his pals in the right wing media, and from Republicans. In those days, the commies were even more hated than al-Qaeda is today.
Overall, the Truman years were very successful. If it hadn't been for the hate campaign of the far right, and the gullibility of a frightened and ignorant public, the approval rating for HST would have been much higher.
