Bottom third: Our man in the White House still manages, amazingly, to garner the support of a third of respondents to polls, according to National Review’s PollTrack:
Bush’s job approval rating in Gallup’s latest survey is 32 percent, a slide of 4 points since mid-January, which puts the figure just one point higher than the lowest it has been during his administration.
His approval mark on foreign affairs has reached its lowest point to date at 31 percent. And assessments of his handling of immigration and the situation in Iraq, now at 25 percent and 26 percent, have returned to the bottoms they reached in January 2006 and last month, respectively.
Recent attention on global warming hasn’t caused his approval ratings on energy policy to bounce around much, either. Three in 10 said they approve of the way he’s handling energy issues — not a marked difference from 2006’s numbers.
Kind of explains the popularity of “American Idol” and “Deal or No Deal.”
