Zogby's poll shows that Bush's speech did nothing to improve his rating. If a week ago his approval rate was a meager 44% it is now the even less impressive 43%:
"President Bush's televised address to the nation produced no noticeable bounce in his approval numbers, with his job approval rating slipping a point from a week ago, to 43%, in the latest Zogby International poll. And, in a sign of continuing polarization, more than two-in-five voters (42%) say they would favor impeachment proceedings if it is found the President misled the nation about his reasons for going to war with Iraq."
42% Americans considering an impeachment, that seems to be a significant development. What is even more significant is that 25% Republicans would favor impeachment. The I-word used to be an ineffable word.
Zogby poll also reports that Bush's approval slipped even in the red states with, 50% disapproving and 48% approving of his performance.
