Poll: Bush at 31% in USA Today/Gallup
Jon Ponder | May 9, 2006

Another new low:

In the poll, 52 percent of conservatives and 68 percent of Republicans approved of Bush’s job performance.

President Bush’s approval rating has slumped to 31 percent in a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll, the lowest of his presidency and a warning sign for Republicans in the November elections.

The survey of 1,013 adults, taken Friday through Sunday, shows Bush’s standing down by 3 percentage points in a single week. His disapproval rating also reached a record: 65 percent. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points…

Bush’s fall is being fueled by erosion among support from conservatives and Republicans. In the poll, 52 percent of conservatives and 68 percent of Republicans approved of the job he is doing. Both are record lows among those groups.

Moderates gave him an approval rating of 28 percent, liberals of 7 percent.

These results offer a glimpse at the difference between conservatives and Republicans: Conservatives are 16 percentage points smarter than members of the GOP.
