In case you forgot the whole Bush Administration Sucks
President Bush's Ratings Slip to Lowest Level of His Presidency, According to Latest Harris Poll


ROCHESTER, N.Y., Sept. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- President Bush's ratings have slipped to 45 percent positive and 54 percent negative, the lowest ratings of his presidency, according to a new Harris Poll. These numbers compare to 50 percent positive, 49 percent negative in June and 48 percent positive, 51 percent negative in August. This downward trend no doubt helps to explain why the lead which the president enjoyed over Senator Kerry immediately after the Republican convention in New York - the so-called "convention bounce" - has
now disappeared.

This is one of the results of a Harris Poll of 1,018 U.S. adults surveyed by telephone by Harris Interactive(R) between September 9 and 13, 2004.This survey also tracked the ratings of other government leaders and of both parties in Congress. Some of the other findings are:

-- Vice President Dick Cheney's ratings - 40 percent positive, 54 percent negative - have not changed since August.
-- Secretary of State Colin Powell's ratings are down to 63 percent positive, 32 percent negative from 69 percent to 27 percent in August, but he is still by far the most popular member of the administration.
-- Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's ratings are down very slightly to 43 percent positive, 50 percent negative. This is the first time his negative ratings have touched 50 percent.
-- Attorney General John Ashcroft's ratings - at 40 percent positive, 49 percent negative - are also down slightly since August, and his negative ratings have never been this high before.
