Idiot Bush... USAT/Gallup Poll: Bush 'approval' at new low; Republican support 'eroding' President Bush's "approval rating" has dropped to an all-time low 29% in the USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, USA TODAY Washington bureau chief Susan Page reports this morning. Opposition to the Iraq War, which is at a new high, has further cut into the president's standing, Page writes. She adds that: � Bush's support is eroding among Republicans: 68% approve of him, down from an average 92% in his first term, 82% in his second. Nearly 4 in 10 Republicans say the immigration debate, which ended in defeat for Bush's overhaul proposal, caused them to lose confidence in him. � Bush now has had both the highest approval rating in Gallup's history -- 90% in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks -- and one of the lowest. Among modern presidents, only Richard Nixon, Harry Truman and Jimmy Carter ever had a lower rating. Pollster.com, writing before the approval number was released, was just about dead right about what it would be: "We should expect Gallup to fall between 29% and 31%, given current trends and Gallup's typical house effect," Charles Franklin wrote at the site yesterday. The "trend" in polling puts the president's approval rating at 27.9% if you look at a cross-section of surveys, he says. Meanwhile, The New York Times' Caucus blog says recent polls suggest that Vice President Cheney " has replaced Dan Quayle as the most unpopular vice president in recent history." We wrote yesterday about what the poll says about the 2008 presidential contenders -- basically, that Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Republican Rudy Giuliani have steady leads in the battles for their parties' nominations. http://blogs.usatoday.com/onpolitics/2007/07/usatgallup-po-1.html
