Bush Approval Rating Falls to New Low of 28%

President Bush’s approval rating has now fallen to 28%, the lowest level ever, according to the most recent Harris poll. From the Wall Street Journal:
Of the 1,001 American adults polled online April 20-23, only 28% had a positive view of Mr. Bush's job performance, down from 32% in February and from a high of 88% in the aftermath of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The current rating is his weakest showing since his inauguration.
Bush’s approval rating is falling at a time when Democrats and the White House are clashing over the Iraq Emergency Supplemental Bill. The legislation would provide funding for the equipment and armor that the troops need overseas, while setting a timetable to bring them home. Bush has already announced that he will veto the bill.
A second poll conducted for NBC News/ Wall Street Journal by Democratic pollster Peter Hart and Republican pollster Neil Newhouse, shows that a solid majority of Americans side with the Democrats.
“They don’t see the surge working,” says Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart. Instead, they are saying “we need to get out.”
According to the survey, 56 percent of Americans say they agree more with the Democrats in Congress who want to set a deadline for troop withdrawal, versus the 37 percent who say they agree with Bush that there shouldn’t be a deadline.
55 percent believe that victory in Iraq isn't possible. And 49 percent say the situation in Iraq has gotten worse in the last three months since Bush announced his so-called troop surge.
Finally, only 22 percent believe the country is on the right track. That's the lowest number on this question since October 1992, when Bush's father was running for a second term--and lost.

We have to remember , Bigpeepa, that since we now have a King, a Monarch, a DICTATOR, and no democracy, what Americans want is of no importance.
