The poll found new lows for Bush's foreign policy performance, which garnered just a 44 percent approval rating. Among respondents, 50 percent lacked confidence in his ability to handle an international crisis and 53 percent said they now believed the Iraq war was not worth it. snip

"Landing on the carrier, declaring the conflict over, this Romanesque sort of victory parade, certainly did raise the stakes," historian James T. Smith told CBS News. "And now those expectations are falling because people are seeing that the Iraq situation is not going according to plan."

11. This is a scary result:

Thirteen months before the next presidential election, voters were split 44 percent to 44 percent between Bush and an unnamed Democratic opponent. BUT RESPONDENTS BY A 50 PERCENT TO 35 PERCENT MARGIN BELIEVED BUSH WOULD BE RE=ELECTED.

-- we need to change that perception, and quick.
