In The Tank: Bush Approval 32% genre: Polispeak
In the latest CNN poll released Monday, the President's approval rating was 32%, the lowest on record for the Bush Presidency. The survey was conducted from Friday through Sunday. For those polled, 60% disapproved of the President's performance. In the latest four polls conducted, the CNN numbers were the lowest. The highest approval was 35% in the most recent Pew Center poll. Perhaps most significant, only 40% of respondents would agree that "honest and trustworthy" described the President, down from 56% one year ago.
Regarding the upcoming midterm elections, 50% of the respondents said they would vote Democratic, 40% said they would vote Republican, and 6% said they didn't know. Rising gas prices appeared to correlate with the high disapproval numbers as nearly two thirds of respondents felt high gas prices were a growing hardship.
