President Bush Poll: Bush approval rating hits all-time low in New York October 5, 2005, 10:13 AM EDT

ALBANY, N.Y. -- President Bush's job approval rating has hit an all-time low in New York with just 29 percent of New York voters giving him favorable marks, a statewide poll reported Wednesday.

Sixty-seven percent of those polled by the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute disapproved of how the Republican president was handling his job.

Bush's approval rating was at 35 percent among New York voters in an August poll from the Hamden, Conn.-based polling institute and was at 39 percent in December of last year just after he had won a second term. The president's all-time high approval rating in heavily Democratic New York state _ 82 percent _ came in November of 2001, just two months after the terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center towers in Manhattan.

Another statewide poll out last week from Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion also pegged Bush's job approval rating at a new low _ 33 percent _ among New York voters.

Maurice Carroll, director of Quinnipiac's polling institute, noted that support for going to war in Iraq has fallen sharply. Sixty-four percent of New York voters said going to war was the wrong thing to do, up from 52 percent who felt that way about a year ago.

In addition to the war in Iraq, Bush has faced criticism in recent weeks for the federal government's emergency response to Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans.

Edit: Ok ok, I fixed the subject line! GRRR! So what IS DUH-bya's overall US approval?! 31%?! Still too high...

6. IN NEW YORK

Please don't tease people with news that is bound to overexcite people.

[Hawkeye-X]

8. And with the latest Iraq terra terra 9/11 bullshit

It should be dropping to the 20's by now. Definitely ripe for impeachment and indictment, imprisonment and frog-marched to the Hague and then, preferably execution. I'm against the death penalty, but this is the one exception.

21. As a New Yorker, Bush never had a high score for a long time

if there was some respect for Bush in the Wake of 9/11, it didn't last long. He never had my respect, I've disliked from the time I first saw his ugly face, in the primaries.
