Bush Hits New Low as 'Wrong Track' Rises
Eighty-Two Percent of Americans Say the Country's Seriously Off on the
Wrong Track
ANALYSIS by GARY LANGER
Public disgruntlement neared a record high and President Bush slipped
to his career low in the latest ABC News/Wa****ngton Post poll.
Eighty-two percent of Americans now say the country's seriously off on
the wrong track, up 10 points in the last year to a point from its
record high in polls since 1973.
And 31 percent approve of Bush's job performance overall, while 66
percent disapprove.
The country's mood -- and the president's ratings -- are suffering
from the double whammy of an unpopular war and a faltering economy.
Consistently for the last year, nearly two-thirds of Americans have
said the war in Iraq was not worth fighting.
And consumer confidence is near its lowest in weekly ABC News polls
since late 1985.
Bush's approval rating has been extraordinarily stable -- before
today's 31 percent it had been 32 percent or 33 percent in nine
ABC/Post polls from July through last month.
