CNN Poll of Polls: How low can Bush's ratings go?

How low can his ratings go?

WASHINGTON DC (CNN) — More poll problems today for President George W. Bush. The president’s approval rating stands at 29% in a new NBC/Wall Street Journal survey out last night. That’s the lowest mark ever for Mr. Bush in their poll.

The president fares little better in today’s poll of polls computed by CNN. We took the president’s approval ratings from the six most recent national polls, and the average comes to 32%.

“Bush’s approval first dropped to this level more than a year ago,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “His approval rating has been below 40% in every single national poll conducted this year, and in six of those polls he has dropped below 30%.”

The numbers come as the president tries to rescue the immigration reform bill that’s stalled on Capitol Hill. The legislation has angered many Americans, especially conservatives, because the bill allows for a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. Many on the right consider that “amnesty.” Mr. Bush and other supporters of the reform measure disagree with that charge.

Unbelievable.

I swear, they must throw in a couple of polls where only his family is queried in order to make the average come out that high...it's almost as though that's a floor below which they refuse to go....at least right now.

What was Nixon at when they decided to impeach him and he resigned to escape charges? Twenty eight or so???

Bush could take a dump on Pat Robertson and those people would still love him!

that Dems have rolled over on Iraq - fear of a massive wave of public opinion sweeping them out of office. Heck, it might even be worse - there could be lynch mobs demanding they be strung up for defying Bush.
