To me, it is very significant when a Gallup Poll shows that Bush has finally dropped to the 40% mark in job approval, and that’s just what happened when Gallup released their latest poll today. In a poll taken through last night, Bush has now fallen to only 40% approval, with his disapproval rating now up to a staggering 56%.
These are the worst marks of his presidency in a Gallup poll, and reflect a slippage of five points just in the last two weeks, a period where Bush has been on vacation, raising money, ignoring Cindy Sheehan, and still trying to justify the Iraq war as being connected to 9/11 by making appearances before Stepford crowds in safely GOP states. I can’t wait to see how these numbers look when he returns to Washington and tries to sell us Social Security privatization again with the Fitzgerald indictments pending. Worse yet for Bush, consumer confidence has headed downhill this month over gas prices.
