George W. Bush's Job Approval Rating Drops to 25%
George W. Bush's overall job approval rating has dropped to 25% as nearly seven in ten Americans say the national economy is getting worse according to the latest survey from the American Research Group. This matches the lowest approval rating for Bush recorded by the American Research Group.

Among all Americans, 25% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 67% disapprove. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 23% approve and 67% disapprove.

Among Americans registered to vote, 26% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 67% disapprove. When it comes to the way Bush is handling the economy, 25% of registered voters approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 67% disapprove.

Approval among Republicans has dropped back to 67%. In September, 80% of Republicans approved of the way Bush was handling his job. In August, 66% of Republicans approved of the way Bush was handling his job.

The results presented here are based on 1,100 completed telephone interviews conducted among a nationwide random sample of adults 18 years and older. The interviews were completed October 18 through 21, 2007. The theoretical margin of error for the total sample is plus or minus 2.6 percentage points, 95% of the time, on questions where opinion is evenly split.

7. How can anyone support Bush with the condition this country is in right now!
Drought, flood, fire and where is the National Guard when these stricken states need all the help they can get.

One of these days half of this 25% will need help, too. Will they learn even then when a disaster strikes them? I doubt it!!!

8. And let me guess, Congress is at 15% now? If not, they will be after
Pelosi and Reid's gang approves the Chimp-in-Chief's latest request for MORE war funding. Guess $156B just wasn't enough to pay for Blackwater's new place now that it's in flames.
