KATRINA POLLING: Mark Blumenthal helps you make sense of it all. Bottom line:

The trend in the President's job rating on responding to Katrina has been a steady decline over the last week, a story not told by any other poll. Most important (at least to MP) is that interviewers conducted last night tend to confirm the drop in Bush's rating seen in the polls done in the heart of the weekend.
We'll see. Asking people if the president should be "blamed" for a hurricane is not a good question. Asking them if they disapprove of his response makes more sense. Last Wednesday, 39 percent disapproved. By Monday, 55 percent did.
