29% – Harris Interactive / WSJ poll

Wow, even I didn’t think it’d be this quick.  Mr Bush has broken the 30% barrier, on his way DOWN.

I was thinking another week or two, especially as the latest NSA spying scandal broke.  Remember folks — this poll will have been conducted BEFORE today’s news came out.

Washington Wire » Bush’s Approval Rating Drops
President Bush’s job-approval rating has fallen to its lowest mark of his presidency, according to a new Harris Interactive poll. Of 1,003 U.S. adults surveyed in a telephone poll, 29% think Mr. Bush is doing an “excellent or pretty good” job as president, down from 35% in April and significantly lower than 43% in January.

The Times, in analyzing the results, said “Americans have a bleaker view of the country’s direction than at any time in more than two decades.”

I don’t think he’s hit bottom, either.  I mean that in both the political sense, as well as the more conventional ‘hitting the bottle" terms.
