Bush reaches 28% approval, making him tied with Jimmy Carter for disapproval.
A new poll from Newsweek has President Bush’s approval rating at an all-time low of 28%, with a disapproval rating of 64%. The last time a President scored that low was Jimmy Carter’s 28% in a Gallup poll in the middle of 1979. Sixty-two percent of respondents said the President’s recent actions in Iraq “show he is stubborn and unwilling to admit his mistakes.” Only 24% of registered-voter respondents called themselves Republicans, compared to 36% Democrats and 37% Independents‚ with the growth in Independents likely coming from losses in the GOP column. And even including leaners, only 37% of registered voters are inclined towards the GOP, compared to 52% for the Democrats.(found on TPMCafe)
