Bush Approval Stuck Below 40%
The conventional wisdom is that, although he's not up for re-election, voter disapproval of President Bush is killing the GOP's congressional candidates. If that's true, then Sunday's Washington Post poll on Bush's ratings didn't improve their mood: He dropped down to 37%, and hasn't been above 50% since January of 2005. This actually isn't his lowest mark – he sunk to 33% back in May. His disapproval rating is at 60%.
