Bush’s disapproval rating worst of any president in 70 years

It appears the American people have spoken: No Deal!

(USA Today) Only 28% of Americans approve of George W. Bush’s handling of the presidency, a new low for his administration, USA Today reports. In addition, his disapproval rate—69%—is the lowest in the 70-year history of the Gallup poll. Dissatisfaction over war in Iraq and the soured economy continue to pummel Dubya, whose 90% post-9/11 approval rating also set a record.

Support for Bush continues to show a partisan split:

* 66% of Republicans approve, 32% disapprove
* 91% of Democrats disapprove
* 23% of independents approve, 72% disapprove

No wonder he goes on Deal or No Deal! Why not?
