AP Poll - Bush at Lowest Approval Levels Ever

Update [2005-6-10 6:6:24 by Armando]: From the diaries by Armando.

hey everybody.. get ready to cover your heads.
bush's approval rating is at an all time low.  
orange alert could come anytime now...

my (little) 3am summary of the new AP poll:

45%  support bush's foreign policy
35%  think the country is going in the right direction
37%  approve of bush's handling of social security
43%  support bush's handing of economy

magic number : bush's happy face rating :) is 41% - a new low

in other words:

55% do not support bush's foreign policy
65% think the country is going in the wrong direction
59% do not approve of bush's handling of social security
57% do not support bush's handling of economy

magic number : bush's sad face rating :( is 59% - a new high

why the changes?

The Associated Press

"There's a bad mood in the country, people are out of sorts," said presidential scholar and senior fellow at the Brookings Institution Charles Jones, who lives near Charlottesville, Va. "Iraq news is daily bad news. The election in Iraq helped some, and the formation of the government helped some, but dead bodies trump the more positive news"...

While Bush has gotten generally low scores for his handling of domestic issues for many months, most Americans have been supportive of his foreign policy. Not any more.
