President Bush yesterday used his weekly radio address to urge listeners to support the immigration deal reached by a handful of senators last week, even as new poll numbers showed the immigration issue is hurting Mr. Bush's job-approval ratings....
But the deal is too harsh for some lawmakers, and not strict enough for others. Its fate could depend on whether senators, and the voters who elected them, view the deal as an amnesty for the estimated 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens in the country....
Meanwhile, a new Rasmussen Reports poll found Mr. Bush's approval rating dropped to an all-time low for that poll, at 34 percent.
"The president's ratings have tumbled each time immigration reform dominates the news," Scott Rasmussen, president of Rasmussen Reports, said in his analysis.
Mr. Rasmussen said that his polling last year, after Mr. Bush gave an Oval Office address laying out his plans for more border enforcement and giving illegal aliens a path to citizenship, found only 39 percent supported the president's position.
I think we will see some other amnesty politicians fall in the polls.

I bet it’s not doing much to improve Congress’s numbers either...
At this point the president’s “job approval” should be at -30, or NOT approved. Sigh.
What a mess Mr. George Bush has made of the illegal immigration issue.
Jim Rob thinks this amnesty could put Bush in the teens....I wholeheartedly concur with his analysis..........
Build the WALL...........
This issue, and not Iraq, is what has been sinking him. The MSM wants everyone to believe otherwise.
“Illegals bill sinks Bush job approval”
As it should.
A week ago I would have wished these numbers higher. Now I wish them lower.
The list of his Incompetencies is a mile long...
to start:
1.This immigration plan he endorses
2.Not pardoning the border patrol agents after unusually vigorous prosecution (granting immunity to an illegal drug runner)
3. Not standing up for the Haditha Marines - letting them be shackled in prison while awaiting trial
4. Letting Scooter Libby be prosecuted for nothing
5 Letting Sandy Burgler off the hook
6. Doing nothing apparently about closing the border
..............
Me too.What a change in only a week!
GWBush replaces Hoover as the GOP’s Jimmy Carter.
Everybody in office is responsible for this horrible situation. The laws exist. No one is enforcing them.
Everyones job ratings are in the toilet.
We are all fed up with this and will not accept any more betrayal. Be on notice that if you are not part of the solution you are fired effective immediately.
7. leaving Clintonista’s in the FBI/CIA/Justice Dept.
Whose got number 8?
Doesn’t seem to effect Teddy’s ratings!
:) You win...
He did okay with Sept. 11, but that was a DIFFERENT President Bush. Don’t know, or like, the new guy.
Miers nomination to SC.
Dubai ports deal.
Signing Campaign Finance Reform.
Failure to muster support for Social Security Reform after 2004 election.
Jim Rob is right, but it won’t make any difference. This is a fait accompli. The Congress & Administration are in bed on this one..........
