The pResident's overall approval score is at 36 percent, according to the latest poll by Time. Bush's numbers have fallen since August, when the fool somehow managed to get a score of 38 percent.
There's still time for the crisis-provoking occupier of the White House to see his approval scores descend to the 20's. But, of course, that might cause the testy Decider to start another war.
Only 38% of respondents in the TIME poll now support President Bush's decision to invade Iraq, down from 42% three months ago. A similar number believe that the new Iraqi government will succeed in forming a stable democracy, while 59% believe this is unlikely. Almost two-thirds (65%) of respondents disapprove of President Bush's handling of the war, while 54% believe he "deliberately misled" Americans in making his case for war — a figure that has increased by 6 points over the past year.
Among the registered voters who were polled, 54% said they would be more likely to vote for the Democratic candidate for Congress, compared with 39% who favored the Republican. That margin may be fueled by the rolling scandal over sexually explicit e-mails sent to teenage pages by Republican Representative Mark Foley. Almost 80% of respondents were aware of the scandal, and only 16% approve of the Republicans' handling of it.
The latest poll by Pew puts Bush at 37 percent.
And Rasmussen reports that 61% of Americans believe the Republicans protected Foley.
