This sucks big tine!

The Carpetbagger Report:

"There's no real point in highlighting every new poll that's released showing Bush's awful approval ratings � his unpopularity has more or less reached dog-bites-man territory, so I'll make everyone a deal: I'll only mention new national polls about the president when a) the results show a new all-time low; or b) when the internals show something particularly unusual.

The latest CNN poll falls into the prior.
President Bush's approval ratings have sunk to a personal low, with only a third of Americans saying they approve of the way he is handling his job, a national poll released Monday said.

In the telephone poll of 1,012 adult Americans carried out Friday through Sunday by Opinion Research Corporation for CNN, 32 percent of respondents said they approve of Bush's performance, 60 percent said they disapprove and 8 percent said they do not know.

I could be wrong, but 32% seems like a floor that will be hard to break through. The president has lost just about everyone he's going to lose; these 32% would probably back Bush if he personally came to their home and punched them in the face. ('Well, I'm sure he had a perfectly good reason')

On a related note, I was going through some conservative blogs yesterday for my other gig when I came across an interesting perspective on Bush's plummeting support from Mark Noonan at Blogs for Bush."
