According to the poll, Bush’s job approval has plummeted to 40 percent, an all-time low for the president. That’s a drop of 6 points from the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll taken in July, and it’s consistent with results from other recent national surveys. The poll also finds that just 37 percent of respondents approve of Bush’s job handling Iraq, compared with 58 percent who disapprove — another all-time low. In addition, 55 percent want to reduce the number of troops in Iraq, while just 36 percent want to maintain the current level there.


This survey of 1,013 adults — which was conducted from Sept. 9-12 and has an overall margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points — comes after an eventful August when gas prices skyrocketed to record highs, Cindy Sheehan, whose son was killed in Iraq, and other anti-war protesters held a month-long vigil outside of Bush’s ranch in Texas and Hurricane Katrina demolished much of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

Bush and his administration have since been criticized for responding too slowly to the hurricane and its aftermath. The poll shows that 48 percent approve of Bush’s handling here, while an equal 48 percent disapprove. That’s down from the 80 percent who approved of the president’s handling of Sept. 11 immediately after the terrorist attacks.
