Bush Approval Ratings Fall Below Nixon's During Watergate

From blog Think Progress...."Via Atrios, an American Research Group poll released today shows that George Bush has dropped to staggering new lows:

George W. Bush’s overall job approval ratings have dropped from a month ago even as Americans who approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president are turning more optimistic about their personal financial situations according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. Among all Americans, 36% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 58% disapprove. When it comes to Bush’s handling of the economy, 33% approve and 62% disapprove.

Among Americans registered to vote, 38% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 56% disapprove, and 36% approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 60% disapprove.

For a little perspective, recall that Richard Nixon’s approval rating in the summer of 1973 (when the Watergate scandal was in full swing) was 39%.

Compared to Bush, that’s downright sunny. "

I have nothing to add to this post except to tell the Bush Administration.....just in case they truly are clueless as to why their policies are so wildly unpopular......it's the deadly, directionless, bankrupting War in Iraq.

As Senator Feingold said over the weekend, it's time for the US to leave Iraq.
