[Clarkie1]

Saturday March 04, 2006--Only forty-one percent (41%) of American adults now approve of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Just 19% Strongly Approve, while 41% Strongly Disapprove.

Last October 28th, the President's Approval dipped to 40%. Other than that single day, today's reading is the lowest Job Approval Rating ever recorded for President Bush by Rasmussen Reports.

The President's support has fallen to 70% among Republicans. For most of his time in office, his support among the GOP has been in the high 80's.

Rasmussen Reports has released an Election 2006 Preview addressing the political implications of the President's declining poll numbers. The Preview notes that "the situation in Iraq has given the Democrats the opportunity to regain majority status in Congress; the Dubai ports issue has provided a rallying point; and, the President has lost the initiative on his signature issue."
