Bush Approval Rating Falls to Record Low, Newsweek Poll Finds Nov. 12 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. President George W. Bush's approval rating fell to a record low of 36 percent from 40 percent at the end of September, a survey released by Newsweek magazine showed today. Bush's previous record low was 38 percent in the days after Hurricane Katrina struck on Aug. 29. Newsweek said Bush's approval rating equals the low of Bill Clinton's presidency in May 1993, when the Democratic president also hit 36 percent. Bush's father, President George H. W. Bush, recorded a 32 percent approval rating in a Gallup poll taken in July 1992 before Clinton defeated him. A total of 58 percent of those surveyed in today's Newsweek poll said they disapprove of how Bush is handling his job, following the indictment of I. Lewis Libby, former chief of staff of Vice President Dick Cheney, on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice and the withdrawal of the nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court. Fifty-six percent of Americans say the president ``won't be able to get much done'' during his last three years in office, Newsweek said. Of the 1,002 adults polled by telephone Nov. 10-11, 60 percent disapprove of the way Bush is handling the economy and 73 percent disapprove of his handling of the price of oil, the magazine said. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
