WASHINGTON, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Despite a drive by President George W. Bush to rebuild support and restore public confidence, three new opinion polls show his approval ratings sinking ever deeper in a sea of political troubles and pessimism.

Bush's approval rating dropped below 40 percent for the first time in polls by the Pew Research Center and NBC News/Wall Street Journal, and fewer than 30 percent of Americans believed the country was on the right track amid violence in Iraq, high gas prices and growing budget deficits.

A new Fox News poll also showed Bush's approval rating dropping to its lowest level in that survey, falling to 40 percent from 45 percent since late September.

"Bush's numbers are going from bad to worse, and there is no silver lining," said Pew pollster Andrew Kohut. "People just see more and more bad news everywhere and they don't see a way out."

3. Everyone needs to blast their Dem reps about this.

If they can't come up with the idea on their own, we'll give it to them.

2. I suspect the numbers have been cooked & it's even lower than what

they're reporting.

Worst President Ever -- I think it's time to put that bumper sticker back on my truck.

4. Right! Even the Faux poll couldn't cook up phony good news!

:rofl:

Their extremely optimistic 40% is hardly better!
