Granted, this is not where he deserves to be (0%), but these are his lowest numbers yet, and it looks like Chimpy's going DOWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.... Maybe our no-balls Congress will reconsider rubber-stamping his rotten policies.

Now, all we need is a Karl Rove indictment to send these numbers over the cliff...

PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup Poll reflects further erosion in President George W. Bush's job approval rating, continuing the slow but steady decline evident throughout the year so far. The poll -- conducted Aug. 22-25 -- puts Bush's job approval rating at 40% and his disapproval rating at 56%. Both are the most negative ratings of the Bush administration. Bush's previous low point in approval was 44% (July 25-28, 2005) and his previous high point in disapproval was 53% (June 24-26, 2005).

Bush's average approval rating for the last three Gallup Polls -- all conducted in August -- is 43%. The rolling average has been steadily declining throughout the year. Bush's average approval ratings for January, February, and March of this year were in the 50% to 52% range, but they then began declining slowly in subsequent months. Bush's average approval rating in May was 48%, declining to 46% in June, rising slightly in July, and then declining again to the current three-poll average of 43%

2. Is he balanced yet?? 40 to 56 doesn't seem balanced. nt.

3. I thought it was at 36%? Maybe that was just on Iraq?

4. probably so... this number is for overall job approval

in response to the following Gallup question:

Do you approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president?

It's hard to believe so many numb-nuts still support him.
