FUX Poll: Chimpy's Lowest Ever (for a FUX poll): 31% approval

NEW YORK — Americans are giving bad grades all around. President Bush’s job approval rating now stands at 31 percent, the lowest ever in the FOX News poll, and almost twice as many Americans say they disapprove of the president’s job performance. And those harsh sentiments extend down Pennsylvania Avenue to Capitol Hill. Six months after the new Democratically-controlled Congress convened, the poll finds that Americans are dissatisfied with the job both Democrats and Republicans in Congress are doing.

Opinion Dynamics Corp. conducted the national telephone poll of 900 registered voters for FOX News from June 26 to June 27. The poll has a 3-point error margin.

Bush’s ratings have been in the thirties for the last several months. Since the midterm election, the president’s approval has ranged from a high of 38 percent (January and April) to a low of 33 percent in March. Today, 31 percent of Americans say they approve and 60 percent disapprove.

Declining support from key constituencies has clearly contributed to the diminishing rating. Today 61 percent of Republicans say they approve — the lowest rating ever among this group. Approval among conservatives is now at 46 percent and 42 percent among Born-Again Christians.

1. That's being too kind. Other polls have him at 27 - 28%.
I even saw one poll that had him at 23%.

3. Yeah, but even the lowest Fux poll number is still being too generous.
We all pretty much know that Fux is not a news network, but the propaganda arm of the GOP. Of course they're going to report higher poll numbers for W than the rest.

4. 31% on faux means about 24 in real numbers
Or as a heritage foundation scholar would twist, the plus/minus would have the number as high as 72% approval.
