  Lovenstein is a hoax.

  Claim: According to a study by the Lovenstein Institute, President Bush has the lowest IQ of all presidents of past 50 years.

  Status: False.

  Origins: No, this isn’t a real news report, nor does it describe a real study. There isn’t a “Lovenstein Institute” in Scranton, Pennsylvania (or anywhere else in the USA), nor do any of the people quoted in the story exist, because this is just another spoof that was taken too seriously.

  The article quoted above began circulating on the Internet during the summer of 2001. In furtherance of the hoax, later that year pranksters thought to register http://www.lovenstein.org and erect a web site around it in an attempt to fool people into thinking there really was such an institute.

  Speaking of IQ’s, an ACTUAL study shows that Bush’s IQ is higher than John Kerry’s:
