By host Tom Ashbrook:
President Bush’s job approval rating is dropping like a stone. The 88 percent in 9/11’s aftermath is ancient history. The 50 percent rate at his re-election is long gone. By the middle of this week, Bush’s had plummeted to his father’s low of 31 percent, the lowest presidential showing in half a century but for Jimmy Carter and Richard Nixon.
Today, the Wall Street Journal publishes a poll finding Americans give George W. Bush an approval rating of only 29 percent. The Republican Congress scores even lower.
Huge issues are raging. And Bush still has nearly a thousand days to govern. How will he do it?
Hear about a presidency in trouble, and Bush’s last thousand days.
