Looking at this morning's Field Poll on the California job approval rating of President George W. Bush, there's at least one bright spot for the President's supporters:

At least he beat Richard Nixon.

Field's survey takes Bush's 32% job approval number and places it into context against the low-water mark for the six presidents before him.

The worst: President Nixon in August 1974, the same month he resigned, with 24% job approval in the Golden State.

The low approval point for the other U.S. leaders in California:
Clinton- 43% (May '05)
Bush I- 37% (July '92)
Reagan- 53% (March '82)
Carter- 33% (July '80)
Ford- 47% (November '75)
