Another day, another poll. Today, it's Time's turn.

In the wake of the Schiavo case, President Bush's job rating had now dipped to 48% approve – 46% disapprove, down 5 points from last week. While the Schiavo case might have contributed to the decline, the Time Poll identifies other possible culprits, including record low ratings on Bush's handling of Social Security issues, down 6 points, to 31% approve – 58% disapprove. Even Bush’s handling of terrorism, long a core Bush strength, is down 11 points from last week, to 52% approve, 43% disapprove.

The poll finds some possible political fallout as well from the Congressional intervention. More than half (54%) would go as far as to say that they would be more likely to vote against their Congressman if he or she voted to move the Schiavo case to the federal courts.

There is important news for Oregonians in this poll as well.

A slim majority (52% - 41%) favor legislation allowing physician assisted suicide. Oregon is currently the only state that allows a terminally-ill adult to request a physician to administer a lethal dose of medication to end their life.

The Bush approval drop is unsurprising; every other recent poll has shown him drop 5-7 points this week. The Oregon numbers are particularly interesting given the supposed "culture of life" in this country. Perhaps the nation isn't Bush country after all...
