26%!

I do not regularly write posts about the polls, but I pay very close attention to them by visiting PollingReport.com almost daily. Often, I will look at the job approval ratings for George W Bush and find the average of the five most recent ratings.

Yesterday, I was excited to see a post on DailyKos.com that had a 26% job approval rating for Bush, a new record low for Bush (at least, out of all of the polls that I have seen). Today, I saw that PollingReport.com reported the same Newsweek poll Bush job approval rating of 26% and the disapproval rating of 65%, which is one point away from the record disapproval rationg of 66% from a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll from last week.

That NBC/WSJ poll and a Quinnipiac poll had the Bush approval ratings of 29% and 28% respectively. Before those two polls came out, my five poll average had never been below 32%, but after those polls, the average hit a new record low of 31.4%.

Now with the new 26% approval rating, a new record low average has broken the last record in only one week. The new record low Bush job approval rating is (drumroll, please): 29.8%!

This marks the first time that my five poll average of Bush job approval ratings has gone below 30%. That is quite a significant milestone. Similarly, the five poll average for Bush job disapproval ratings has reached a new record high of 64.6%.

With numbers like these and all the news that has been coming out about the Bush administration's illegal activities and unethical behavior, impeachment cannot be far behind. Happy days are here again.
