Would you prefer the 29%? Sorry but Bush loses to an unnamed Democrat in most polls these days, and his bedrock support has indeed slipped down to base levels. That means 30-40% I'm sure he can do better than that, but maybe not better than 45%. Quite possibly though it could be another very close election with florida deciding it.

Saturday :: Sep 6, 2003 (Remember this day?) The Free Fall in Bush Poll Numbers Has Begun To those of you who keep looking for a tipping point, here it is: the free-fall has started. According to the latest Zogby poll released today, and taken late this week of over a thousand likely voters, Bush’s combined “excellent/good” approval rating has crashed to 45%, the lowest of his presidency. His combined “fair/poor” rating now has climbed to 54%, again the highest of his presidency. The Time/CNN poll, also taken late last week, shows Bush with his lowest approval and highest disapproval ratings of his presidency. Moreover, the bloom is coming off the rose about Mr. Bush’s personal approval rating. The Zogby poll shows Bush with his lowest favorability rating (54%) and his highest unfavorability rating (45%) of his presidency. Again, keep in mind this was from a relatively large sample (1,013) of likely voters. Furthermore, according to the Zogby poll as of late last week, Bush loses by twelve points (40%-52%) to an unnamed Democrat. This twelve-point spread mirrors the margin in the Time/CNN poll also of late last week (29%-41%). Okay that was nine weeks ago, but no reason Bush can't head back down there, and even lower.
