Bush Approval Falls 5 Points in Two Months
The latest Harris poll shows President Bush teetering near the precipice of an approval rating in the 30s, reports the Wall Street Journal.
President Bush's job approval ratings are at their lowest point of his presidency as only 40% of U.S. adults have a favorable opinion of his job performance and 58% have a negative opinion, according to a Harris Interactive poll.The President's approval rating is by far the lowest ever recorded by Harris. What's more, Congressional Republicans, who had previously been slightly favored over their liberal counterparts, find their numbers have also fallen five points since the last poll to 32% approve, 64% disapprove.
This is a decline from just two months ago in June when the president's ratings were 45% positive and 55% negative. Much of this decline can be tied to the public's opinion on important issues. The war in Iraq has climbed to the top of a list of issues Americans say it's most important for the U.S. to address and the economy is now viewed as the second most important issue, according to the poll.
