Rising gas prices and ongoing bloodshed in Iraq continue to take their toll on President Bush, whose standing with the public has sunk to an all-time low, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The survey found Bush's job approval rating at 45 percent, down seven points since January and the lowest ever recorded for the president in Post-ABC surveys. Fifty-three percent disapproved of the job Bush is doing.

It seems as if the Pres has been sitting on his hands. Americans are being gouged by oil companies, there seems to be no strategy to win terror war whereas at ontime he made it clear what we were going to do. No, I am not some flaming leftist DU troll.
I'm glad that at a time when a large part of the U.S. is going through a major crisis, the media can still make time to bash the President.
I hear you, and that should be factored into the equasion and rightfully so. That being said, that's a reason that our side has problems getting the message across, but not an excuse.
I'm glad my wisecrack made you laugh! Share it whenever and wherever you want, and take credit for it! Why not? ;-)
I admire him, too. But he is not above criticism. And he needs it.NOW!
If you want to call me a "Bushie", fine with me I don't care. I won't run from my president when times are tough.
Sorry, I didn't mean "Bushie" as derogatory, as much as I meant it in priority. The Republican Party and its philosophy is more important than any one man. The Democrats are a party of "personalities", i.e. JFK as Churchill.
OK by your logic then his father only crashed because of Ross Perot......
Yes. Bush#41 had 37.7%, Perot had 19.0% and Clinton had 43.3%. The math can be performed a lot of ways, but the majority of Perot voters were dissatisfied Republicans and Reagan Democrats. As you can see, the total for Bush and Perot adds up to 56.7% of the popular vote, therefore, Clinton won only by a "solid" minority. This may happen to Republicans again, in 2008, if "W" is excessively unpopular and we will have 4-8 years of Democratic Darkness again. (puke!)
Gee...I wonder who it was that gave the strong impression that he was out to lunch?? Could it have been some of the Liberal media?
I messin' with ya'... You cited credentials of being here since 1999 in your reply to the "MNJ"...I always get a kick out time on here being used for rebuttals...
AOK, pallie! Keep on truckin! ;-)
