If he drops 5 more points, Junior will be tied with Nixon

President Bush's positive job rating continues to fall, touching another new low for his presidency, the latest Harris Interactive poll finds. Bush's current job approval rating stands at 34%, compared with a positive rating of 88% soon after 9/11, 50% at this time last year, and 40% in August. And he's not alone. Cabinet members, Congressional leaders and both parties in Congress have also seen their ratings slip, with Democrats seeing one of the biggest dips in approval, the telephone poll of 1,011 U.S. adults shows.

Vice President Dick Cheney's approval ratings slipped to 30% this month from 35% in August, while Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's approval ratings dropped to 34% from 40% and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's approval ratings fell to 52% from 57%, according to the poll.

At the same time, only a quarter of Americans polled give Democrats a positive rating in the latest poll, compared with 31% in August, while Republicans' approval ratings fell to 27% from 32%.

Mr. Bush's current ratings don't compare favorably with those of three of the last four two-term presidents at a comparable time in their fifth year in office. In November or October of their fifth year, Presidents Johnson (67%), Reagan (66%) and Clinton (58%) all enjoyed the support of majorities, while President Nixon (29%) was less popular than Mr. Bush is now.

5. I'm going to video tape the Emperor's final exit from the White House...

I just want to burn the image into my mind of him leaving for the last time. Hopefully we won't have to wait another three years, but if we do, it will be worth it.

7. ...or Poppy. I understand Poppy was at 32% near end of term.

Like father, like son.

8. I hate to say it but

That poll is not exactly the most reliable. If you look at it, someone saying the job bush has been doing is "only fair" is counted as disapproval. That doesnt sound so much like disapproval to me. Still hes gone down 6% since August so thats definetly great.
