As has been the case for the past year and a half, only one-quarter of California voters approve of the job President Bush is doing and a majority of voters attribute his performance to his not being up to the job to begin with, according to a new Field Poll.

The nonpartisan, statewide survey shows that 25 percent of California registered voters think Bush is doing a good job, and 68 percent do not. Seven percent have no opinion.

With an unpopular war in Iraq and a deteriorating economy, the Republican president's approval rating in California has been mired in the 20s since March 2007.

It is lower than any of the past four presidents in their last year in office. Democrat Bill Clinton had an approval rating of 63 percent in August 2000. Republican George H.W. Bush was at 37 percent in July 1992, a few months before losing the White House to Clinton.
