Bush Approval Rating Slides
To New Low Of 34%
11-18-5
(AFP) -- President George W Bush's job approval rating has touched
a new low of 34%, according to a new survey. New York - President George W
Bush's job approval rating has touched a new low of 34%, according to a US
survey published on Thursday by Harris Interactive.
While one in three Americans rated Bush's performance in the White
house as "positive," 65% said it was "only fair" or "poor," the poll
showed.
Bush's approval rating has been slipping from 50% when he was
re-elected in November 2004, to 45% in June to 40% in August of this year,
according to the New York-based pollster.
In 2001, at the start of his first four-year term, Bush enjoyed a
56% approval rating, which shot up to 88% after the September 11, 2001
attacks in the United States.
In April 2003, as the United States geared up for an invasion of
Iraq, 70% of Americans approved of the Republican president's job
performance, but his approval ratings had been steadily falling for a
year.
Compared with other two-term presidents at a similar point in
their mandates, Bush is now slightly more popular than Richard Nixon's 29%
approval rating.
At the end of their fifth year in office, Lyndon Johnson had a 67%
rating, Ronald Reagan 66% and Bill Clinton 58%.
In the latest Harris survey, Vice President ***** Cheney fared even
worse than his boss, with just 30% of Americans believing he was doing a
good job, down from 35% in August.
Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld matched Bush with a 34% approval
rating, sliding from 40% in the previous poll.
Sixty-eight of those polled said the country was on the "wrong
track," while 27% said it was headed in the "right direction."
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice remains the public's favourite
in the Bush administration, but her star is also falling, to 52% from 57%
in August.
The telephone survey of 1 011 Americans was conducted between
November 8 and 13.

who cares what Bush's poll ratings are, he's not running for anything! It's
really doesn't matter, he's not Bill Clinton, or one to run his agenda by
the polls..

It matters because many of those Republicans who have been supporting
him and his policies are up for reelection next Fall - and they have
already begun to distance themselves from Bush & the Theocons.

Exactly, you'll never see rats running toward a sinking ship.
Unless, of course, you happen to be a pathological spin doctor.

I was just referring to the past week in which he was trying to battle
his plummeting numbers. "Blame it on the Democrats" evidently worked
against him.
