Bush's popularity hits lowest level ever in US poll Fri Aug 26, 4:34 PM ET


President George W. Bush's approval rating has plummeted to the lowest level in his four and half years in the White House, according a poll.

According to the Gallup poll, conducted in August, 40 percent of Americans approve of Bush's job performance while 56 disapprove. It is the worst result for the president since he took office in January 2001. Bush was re-elected in November.

The previous low score was last month, when 44 percent of Americans polled between July 25-28 said they approved of Bush's performance.

His previous worst disapproval figure was in a June 24-26 poll, when 53 percent had a negative opinion of the US leader.

The new poll "reflects further erosion in President George W. Bush's job approval rating, continuing the slow but steady decline evident throughout the year so far," according to Gallup.

Bush's three-poll average has fallen from 46 percent in May to 43 percent in August. Compared to the average of other presidents during August of their second terms, Bush is only ahead of Richard Nixon, whose August average was 34 percent.

The survey was conducted by telephone among 1,007 people between August 22-25. It has a three-percentage-point margin of error.
