With only three days left before the end of his term, a New York Times/CBS News poll released on Friday found 73% of Americans disapprove of President Bush's conduct.

Only 22% of the surveyed individuals approved of his 8-year performance in the White House.

When asked to assess the Bush presidency more precisely, a mere 17% rated it very good or good while 83% considered it to have been average or poor.

Some 71% of the respondents disapproved of President Bush's management of the war in Iraq and 77% criticized his handling of the US economy.

The poll also put the popularity rating of Vice President Dick Cheney at 13%, the lowest in his time in office.

The most unpopular president in US history, whose term ends on January 20, will leave behind a legacy of two costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a financial crisis for his successor Barack Obama.
