Bush's Approval Continues Fall in Many States
SurveyUSA has released its November polling (accidentally perhaps -- you must click each state's tracking graph to see the new numbers), and once again, the situation looks grim for the President. A majority of voters in only three states -- Utah, Idaho and Wyoming -- approve of the President, with Bush scoring exactly a 50 percent approval rating in Mississippi. Voters in Nebraska and Oklahoma are divided on the President, a plurality of Alabamans disapprove of President Bush and exactly 50 percent of Alaskans disapprove of the President. In every other stat -- 42 in all -- a majority of voters disapprove of the President.
Residents of Utah and Idaho are currently the most supportive of the President with 59 percent of voters in each state voicing approval (note that Bush's approval is not above 60 percent in any state). Rhode Islanders are the least supportive of President Bush, giving him a mere 26 percent approval (with New Yorkers' 27 percent not far behind).
President Bush's approval rating has ticked up in a handful of "blue" states on the coasts, including Massachusetts, Maine, Washington, Oregon and California (though none of these increases are statistically significant). However, the President has lost substantial support in some of the "reddest" states, including 6 percent more disapproving in Alabama, 5 percent more disapproving in both North Dakota and Montana, and 7 percent more in Kentucky.
We'll have more data on the poll as it comes out...
