A new Gallup Poll finds President Bush with a 32% approval rating, with one ppoint of his all-time low. His approval rating on handling the Iraq war, at 26%, is now at its lowest point.
Gallup observes, "More Americans disapprove than approve of his handling of seven different issues tested in the poll; he is rated most positively on terrorism and the economy. Bush's approval ratings on foreign affairs, the situation in Iraq, and immigration are the lowest of his administration."
Bush has not been above 50% in any Gallup Poll in nearly two full years.
Republicans are still largely supportive of Bush -- 78% approve of him in the latest poll. But fewer than one in four independents (23%) and 1 in 10 Democrats (7%) approve: "Bush's approval rating among Democrats has been below 10% in every Gallup Poll since mid-October 2006. By comparison, Gallup never recorded a sub-10% approval rating for Bill Clinton among Republicans. His lowest support among the opposition party's supporters was 13% during the late summer and fall of 1994."
obviously there is less support for the war then their is for the president among them. otherwise the numbers wouldn't be so off. So you can support the chimp but absolutely none of his policies? I just hate these people so much! The answer to the question is not, I repeat NOT, "but he's the president."
