Bush’s Job Approval Rating at All Time Low

Only 36% of the public approves of Bush’s performance, according to an Ap-Ipsos poll released Friday. The GOP-led Congress fared even worse, with an approval rating of only 30%.  Nixon’s numbers were in the high 20s during the Watergate scandal.  What’s the magic number for regime change?
