President Bush Job Approval
Tuesday, May 22, 2007

After three straight days at the lowest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports, President Bush’s Job Approval ratings slipped another point to another new low on Tuesday.

Just 33% of American adults now Approve of the way that George W. Bush is performing his duties as President. Prior to this past week, the President’s ratings had never slipped below 35% and had only reached that level for a day or two at a time. Now, his Job Approval has been at the 35% level or below for six straight days. (see comments on comparing Approval Ratings from different polling firms). Rasmussen Reports updates the President’s Job Approval ratings every day by noon Eastern.

The President’s ratings tumble each time immigration reform dominates the news because he loses support among his base—just 66% of Republicans now give him their approval (that matches the lowest level of support he’s ever received from his base). Even as the stock markets set new records, just 36% of investors approve of the President’s performance.

Only 14% of Americans now Strongly Approve of the way Bush is handling his duties. Forty-eight percent (48%) Strongly Disapprove (that is the highest level ever measured). Early in the second term, the number who Strongly Approved was essentially even with the number who Strongly Disapproved.

I wish I could remember where I saw it, but it said Bush's true numbers were likely in the low 20's-upper teens.
