The people who said Lincoln was most the most hated president in US history are correct.
Although Harry Truman has the record for lowest approval ratings ever (with Nixon being a very close second). And Bush's numbers aren't even close to being as low as those two.
The thing about Bush is that, for Americans at least, he is a very divisive President, while the rest of the world hates him. So it is possible that if you looked just at the international community then GWB might take the prize, but domestically, it is still too split for him to even approach the broad levels of hate some other presidents got.
