Bush’s Approval Remains Low, Pessimism Grows, Poll Shows

President Bush’s job-approval rating slipped for the third consecutive month and remains near the lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll.

Thirty-five percent of 1,008 U.S. adults surveyed in the telephone poll think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 36% in March and significantly lower than 43% in January. This compares with 63% of Americans who said Mr. Bush is doing an “only fair or poor” job, down from 64% in March.

Bush’s low poll numbers are hardly news anymore; the amazing part is that they just keep going lower. It seems like pretty soon he’ll be wishing he was as popular as Nixon was.
