The bungled response to the hurricane has helped drag down Bush’s job-approval rating, which now stands at 42 percent — the lowest of his presidency — in the Post-ABC poll and down three points since the hurricane hit two weeks ago. Fifty-seven percent disapprove of Bush’s performance, a double-digit increase since January.
Even some members of Bush’s own party appear to have lost faith in their leader: The president’s overall approval rating among Republicans has declined from 91 percent in January to 78 percent in the latest poll.
Overall, half the country now characterizes Bush as a “strong leader” — down 12 points since May of last year. And the proportion who say he can be “trusted in a crisis” likewise has fallen from 60 percent to 49 percent now.

But just when you thought
There was something that couldn’t be bought,
Turns out he cheats at golf (only at his own courses), too.
One thought on “Poll: More Low Numbers for President Bush”
