Two different polls, in fact.
The NBC/WSJ poll has him at 36 percent approval.
Today's Rasmussen poll has him at 38 (link is to Kossack JOEL1954's diary, since he has a Rasmussen premier membership).
Here's Bush over the last few months in Rasmussen:
The lines are simple regression fits, showing a long-term trend of approximately .5 percentage points per week drop in approval and rise in disapproval.
And, a couple of quotes from the NBC article:
According to the poll, Bush's approval rating fell by one point from last month to 36 percent, his lowest mark in the survey. But the troubling news for Bush doesn't stop there: Hart explains that Bush has now spent nine consecutive months at 40 percent or below in the poll, a feat exceeded only by Richard Nixon (13 months) and Harry Truman (26 months).
I like how they call that a "feat".
Yet Bush's approval isn't the only measure that has declined. In the poll -- which was taken April 21-24 of 1,005 adults, and which has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points -- just 24 percent believe the nation is headed in the right direction, a drop of two points since last month and seven points since January. What's more, only 17 percent think the nation's economy will improve in the next 12 months, a decline of seven points since March.
All of this, Hart says, adds up to a political environment that is "exceptionally worrisome for Republicans." And he believes that as we head toward November, "the die is getting close to being cast" -- that Americans are unhappy and want change.
