Lower and lower
President Bush’s approval ratings have now dropped into the 30s.
George W. Bush’s overall job approval ratings have dropped from a month ago even as Americans who approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president are turning more optimistic about their personal financial situations according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. Among all Americans, 36% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 58% disapprove. When it comes to Bush’s handling of the economy, 33% approve and 62% disapprove.
As is pointed out here, this is even lower than President Nixon’s approval rating during the summer of 1973 (when the Watergate scandal was going on).
I guess this means we can expect either a terrorist attack or a new war this fall, in a desperate attempt to get those numbers back up.
