Poll: More disapprove of Bush than any other

president

 

By Paul Steinhauser

CNN Deputy Political Director

WASHINGTON DC (CNN) -- A new poll suggests that

President Bush is the most unpopular president in modern American history.

 

A CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey released Thursday

indicates that 71 percent of the American public disapprove of how Bush is

handling his job as president.

 

" No president has ever had a higher disapproval

rating in any CNN or Gallup Poll; in fact, this is the first time that any

president's disapproval rating has cracked the 70 percent mark, " said

Keating Holland, CNN's polling director.

 

" Bush's approval rating, which stands at 28

percent in our new poll, remains better than the all-time lows set by Harry

Truman and Richard Nixon [22 percent and 24 percent, respectively], but even

those two presidents never got a disapproval rating in the 70s, "

 

CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider adds,

" He is more unpopular than Richard Nixon was just before he resigned from

the presidency in August 1974. "

 

President Nixon's disapproval rating in August 1974

stood at 66 percent

 

The poll also indicates that support for the war in

Iraq has never been lower. Thirty percent of those questioned favored the war,

while 68 percent opposed it.

 

" Americans are growing more pessimistic about the

war, " Holland said. " In January, nearly half believed that things

were going well for the U.S. in Iraq; now that figure has dropped to 39 percent. "

 

The numbers on the Iraq war come on the five-year

anniversary of Bush's " Mission Accomplished " moment on board the

aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, when he proclaimed that " major

combat operations in Iraq have ended. "

 

The record-low support for the war in a CNN poll could

be one reason behind the president's unpopularity, but it probably is not the

only one.

 

" Support for the war, the assessment of the

economy and approval of Mr. Bush are all about the same -- bad, " Schneider

said.

Dear David

 

It does not appear that President Bush will get much relief in next

couple of months due to other bad transits (e.g. Ra and Ke transiting

their natal positions). What is of interest is that President Bush

is in favorable main and sub periods of Me ruling his 3rd house but

the bad transits generally override this. Nevertheless, his strong

3rd house of courage continues to make him firm in his beliefs

irrespective of public opinions.
