George W. Bush ended up second from the bottom of the list in a new Gallup poll that takes a look at Americans' approval ratings of the last nine presidents to serve (http://www.gallup.com/poll/145064/Kennedy-Highest-Rated-Modern-President-Nixon-Lowest.aspx).
He was above only Richard Nixon, a guy who's campaign staff members got caught paying burglars to break into the Democratic National Committee's headquarters in order to gather information and install sound recording devices. Nixon had secret recordings of all his conversations in his office. Eventually he had to release the tapes, and they showed that Nixon had played a role in the cover-up of the break in (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/watergate/index.html).
Anyways, the point is that George W. Bush wasn't dead last only because Nixon turned out to be such a scumbag. Incompetence factor - 6. I decided to go a little easy on the guy because this quote about Kanye West in his recent interview with Matt Lauer gave me so much joy.
