Back in the day, I thought that Nixon was the worst there ever was or ever would be, but I was wrong. Wannabe King George makes Nixon look like a Boy Scout.

Hoover was a mighty unpopular fellow. He was blamed for The Great Depression, althought it was probably the policies of he predicessors and not his own actions that had brought about the stock market crash and was also vilified for not acting quickly and effectively to end Alcohol Prohibition.
Here is a little ditty that was popular during Alcohol Prohibition.
"Prohibition is an awful flop.
We like it.
It can't stop what it's meant to stop.
We like it.
It's left a trail of graft and slime,
It don't prohibit worth a dime,
It's filled our land with vice and crime.
Nevertheless, we're for it."
Old songs for the new Prohibition.

Do you count the Presidents that were assassinated? That sort of makes a case for hate. I think there have been 3 or 4 impeachment attempts, that is an other indicator. Heck, the love/hate relationship between the citizens and the public his almost an American tradition.

Bush is only hated by the intellectually inferior who have their opinions formed by the likes of Al Franken and Michael Moore. Many may be disappointed, but I bet less than 10% actually hate the guy.

Abraham Lincoln. While he was the president, people had the same opinion of him that most Americans have for President Bush today.

Are you serious? People HATED Andrew Jackson at one point, and people tend to forget Grant had probably the most scandal filled tenure of any president.

Well, the neocons have a permanent b*ner over Clinton.
If you ask the country as a whole (or even the rest of the world), the answer would probably be Dubya. Even Nixon's legacy will be better than Bush's.

Not in American history. Bush has surpassed Andrew Jackson, Hoover, and Nixon. There have been people more hated in world history.

The media tells me that there isn't. And if they say it on television, it must be true.
