From news.com.au:
MORE than half of all Australians believe George W. Bush is the worst president in American history, a new poll shows. The Galaxy poll, commissioned by the Medical Association for the Prevention of War (MAPW), found 52 per cent of Australians believed Mr Bush was the United States' worst-ever president.
Just 32 per cent said he was not, while the remainder were undecided.
MAPW spokesman Robert Marr said it was timely for gauging the Australian public's view of the US president, who will arrive in Sydney for the APEC summit today.
"We thought it was important to get an accurate opinion of Australians' views towards President Bush," Dr Marr told ABC radio today.
"And whether they agree with former president Jimmy Carter that George (W.) Bush was actually the worst president of US history.
"The result was there is a clear majority of Australians who believe George (W.) Bush is the worst ... and that is based primarily on his Iraq war policy."
Oh, and Bush ally John Howard?
Meanwhile, the latest Newspoll survey, conducted for "The Australian" newspaper last weekend, showed Opposition leader Kevin Rudd's Labor Party's primary vote soaring to 51 per cent and Howard's Coalition party falling to 37 per cent.
On the basis of preference flows at the last election, the two-party-preferred vote gives Labor an 18-point lead, 59 per cent to 41 percent.
If those figures were reproduced at an election, the Howard government would be reduced to a rump in Parliament, with about a dozen ministers losing their seats, including Howard in his Sydney electorate of Benelong.
It's the war.
