Bush's disapproval rating tops 65% - a record!

What is most noteworthy about Bush's abysmal poll numbers is that even the right-wing-nut-ocracy is turning on him.

USATODAY.com - Bush approval rating hits new low: "President Bush's approval rating has slumped to 31% in a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the lowest of his presidency and a warning sign for Republicans in the November elections.

Bush's fall is being fueled by erosion among support from conservatives and Republicans. In the poll, 52% of conservatives and 68% of Republicans approved of the job he is doing. Both are record lows among those groups.

Moderates gave him an approval rating of 28%, liberals of 7%.

'You hear people say he has a hard core that will never desert him, and that has been the case for most of the administration,' says Charles Franklin, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin who studies presidential approval ratings. 'But for the last few months, we started to see that hard core seriously erode in support.'

Only four presidents have scored lower approval ratings since the Gallup Poll began regularly measuring it in the mid-1940s: Harry Truman, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter and the first George Bush. When Nixon, Carter and the elder Bush sank below 35%, they never again registered above 40%.

Truman twice sank into the low 30s and then rose into the 60s, but the third time his rating fell, it stayed below 40% as well."

The scary part is that Truman probably turned around his poll numbers by dropping two atomic bombs on populous cities.
