Bush Breaks 30% Barrier and Still Falling

Bush's approval ratings continue to fall. He's now in Nixonian territory. Here's an article from United Press International (I went hunting for more news but original hat tip to Suburban Guerilla):

WASHINGTON, May 11 (UPI) -- U.S. President George W. Bush's job approval rating has fallen to 29 percent in a new Harris Interactive poll.

It is the lowest job approval rating of Bush's presidency, The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday.

Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed by telephone, 29 percent said Bush was doing an "excellent or pretty good" -- down from 35 percent in the Harris Interactive poll conducted in April. Bush's job approval rating had been 43 percent in the Harris Interactive poll conducted in January.

Until Bush has the courage to fire Karl Rove and Donald Rumsfeld and ask Vice President Dick Cheney to step down, his numbers will continue to fall. The current Republican Congress needs to stop defending the most inept president we've had in over a hundred years.
