365 Days left of Bush
On January 20, 2009 a new president will be sworn in.
Thank god.
Can't wait for him to finally be gone.
Beset by growing economic concerns on top of the long unpopular war in Iraq, President Bush starts the last year of his presidency with the worst approval rating of his career.
...
Bush is just two months away from Truman's record of 38 months without majority approval -- far beyond any other.
...
Intensity of sentiment, moreover, remains very heavily against the president. Fifty-one percent strongly disapprove of his work overall, while just 16 percent strongly approve -- strongly negative by better than a 3-1 ratio.
...
Among those who disapprove of the war, Bush's approval rating is 12 percent; "wrong track," 91 percent.
...
Republican self-identification has moved back down, to an average of 25 percent across 2007 -- its lowest yearlong average since 1984.
...
Bush is at career lows in approval in three groups as well as overall -- among liberals (9 percent approve of his work), moderates (24 percent) and independents -- the center of American politics -- among whom just 25 percent approve.
