Poll Finds Bush Job Rating at New Low 38% Approve; 60% Disapprove By Richard Morin and Claudia Deane Washington Post Staff Writers Tuesday, April 11, 2006; Page A01 Political reversals at home and continued bad news from Iraq have dragged President Bush's standing with the public to a new low, at the same time that Republican fortunes on Capitol Hill also are deteriorating, according to the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll. The survey found that 38 percent of the public approve of the job Bush is doing, down three percentage points in the past month and his worst showing in Post-ABC polling since he became president. Sixty percent disapprove of his performance.

another bush mess: U.S. to Press China Over Soaring Trade Gap By MARTIN CRUTSINGER The Associated Press Monday, April 10, 2006; 1:08 PM WASHINGTON -- The Bush administration said Monday that China must do more to address long-standing trade frictions as a way of dealing with a U.S. trade deficit that has hit an all-time high of $202 billion with the Asian giant. Administration officials said a meeting of top economic policy-makers from the two countries on Tuesday is viewed as critical although they said the announcement of some of China's trade concessions may be delayed until next week when President Hu Jintao will make an official visit to Washington. "He is coming into a country where there's over a $200 billion trade deficit, and a lot of Americans are wondering where's the equity in trade," President Bush said Monday during a question-and-answer session following a speech on Iraq. "And, therefore, I think he could help the Americans understand the importance of a free-trading world if he were to maybe make a statement on his currency, for example."
