Only 29% think the president is doing an “excellent or pretty good job,” according to a new Harris Interactive poll.


Wall Street Journal Online:

President Bush’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll.

Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January. It compares with 71% of Americans who said Mr. Bush is doing an “only fair or poor” job, up from 63% in April.

Meanwhile, approval ratings for Congress are also sliding, as 18% of Americans say Congress is doing an “excellent or pretty good job,” compared with 80% who say Congress is doing an “only fair or poor” job. In February, 25% of Americans gave Congress a positive rating and 71% gave a negative rating.
