FoxNews Poll has Bush at 33%

Kinda shocking they couldn't find a way to inflate those numbers.

More Americans disapprove than approve of how George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Congress are doing their jobs, while a majority approves of Condoleezza Rice. President Bush'’s approval hits a record low of 33 percent this week, clearly damaged by sinking support among Republicans.

Approval among Republicans is below 70 percent for the first time of Bush'’s presidency. Two-thirds (66 percent) approve of Bush'’s job performance today, down almost 20 percentage points from this time last year when 84 percent of Republicans approved. Among Democrats, 11 percent approve today, while 14 percent approved last April.
Aside from a headline that implied economic reasons for Bush's slide towards the basement, the article is pretty accurate. No Democrats like Bush and Republicans are increasingly dissatisfied.
Overall, 57 percent of Americans disapprove of the job Bush is doing, and the most frequently mentioned reason is Iraq (48 percent). The other top reasons include generally "doing a bad job" (24 percent), disagreement on issues (22 percent) and the economy/jobs (17 percent).
Wow, that's in an article with the headline, "Gloomy Economic Views; Bush Approval at New Low." I take back my statement about honest.

I'd say it's about time for another 'armed freedom spreading exercise' to rally the mindless masses around the President.
