The Obama Presidency — Unit test

Question 3 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

What made Bush unpopular as a president?

Answer
a
a recession and higher unemployment
r
removing Noriega from power in Panama
r
removing Hussein from power in Iraq
a
a depression and the invasion of Iraq

Explanation

An economic recession and rising unemployment hurt George H. W. Bush’s popularity, especially as voters focused on economic conditions in the 1992 election. The choice about removing Noriega is incorrect because that action did not make him unpopular in the same way. Bush did not remove Saddam Hussein from power, and the United States invaded Iraq in 2003 under a different president.
