CBS Poll : Shocking All-Time Low Approval Ratings for Both Bush & Cheney

Results of a CBS poll released today are devastating for the Bush Administration, and include presidential and vice-presidential approval ratings that are the lowest ever recorded for sitting executives.

Per CBS, "Mr. Bush's overall job rating has fallen to 34 percent, down from 42 percent last month. Fifty-nine percent disapprove of the job the president is doing.

For the first time in this poll, most Americans say the president does not care much about people like themselves. Fifty-one percent now think he doesn't care, compared to 47 percent last fall.

Just 30 percent approve of how Mr. Bush is handling the Iraq war, another all-time low....

The poll also had catastrophic political news for the Bush Administration over its proposal to hand control of many US ports over to a company owned by the United Arab Emirates: Americans are overwhelming opposed to this fast-track deal. Says CBS, "Seven in 10 Americans, including 58 percent of Republicans, say they're opposed to the agreement. "

And here's an almost unfathomable statistic from the newly-released CBS poll: only 18 percent said they hold favorable view of Vice President Dick Cheney, down from 23 percent in January.
