Bush Hits New Low - 36%

Just when the White House thought it couldn’t get worse, a new CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll has been released showing Bush’s approval at 36%.

Bush’s failed leadership is beginning to catch up with him…From…

-Abysmal leadership in Iraq, Afghanistan and the war on terror
-Illegal domestic wiretapping
-Failed Dubai port deal
-Hurricane Katrina
-Incredible national debt
-White House staffers arrested
-Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff
-Millions of Americans without health insurance
-Lack of border security

The list goes on.

Key poll findings:

Was going to Iraq a mistake?
57% - yes
42% - no

How is Iraq going?
60% - badly
38% - well

Does Bush have a clear plan for Iraq?
67% - no
32% - yes

Did Bush mislead public on WMD?
51% - yes
46% - no

Only 38 percent said they believe the nearly 3-year-old war was going well for the United States, down from 46 percent in January, while 60 percent said they believed the war was going poorly. And 57 percent said they believe the March 2003 invasion of Iraq was a mistake, near September’s record high of 59 percent in the same poll.

Nearly half of those polled said they believe Democrats would do a better job of managing the war.
