As many of us have heard, when a president gets below 30%, the party of that president loses big the next election. It also means that the base of the Republican Party is starting to abandon him... and, possibly, congressional Republicans.

President Bush’s job approval rating has fallen to 30%, once again hitting the all-time low-water mark of his presidency as Americans continue their disaffection with his leadership of the Iraq war, a new Zogby International telephone poll shows.

He hit this low mark previously in December. Since then, he has made sweeping changes in the military leadership and plan of attack in Iraq, but none of it has convinced the American electorate, Zogby polling shows. He has also begun to defend his military leadership in front of a confrontational Democratic-controlled Congress, as a committee opened hearings today into shabby living conditions for patients at Walter Reed Medical Center in the Washington area, where soldiers injured in Iraq and Afghanistan are sent to recuperate.
