"lowest levels ever recorded" : new AP-Ipsos poll, B*sh & Congress

WASHINGTON (AP) � Public approval for President Bush and Congress has sunk to the lowest levels ever recorded in The Associated Press-Ipsos poll.

Only 31 percent said they approve of the job Bush is doing, according to the survey released on Thursday. Though his positive ratings have hovered at about that range since last year, his lowest previous approval in the AP-Ipsos survey was 32 percent, which was recorded several times, most recently in June. That is virtually even with the latest reading.

Amid a major credit crunch and a weak housing market, a record low 34 percent said they approved of Bush's performance in handling the economy. His prior low in the poll was 37 percent.

Bush also hit a new low with 31 percent approving of his work on domestic issues like health care, just below June's 32 percent. The poll was taken as Bush was about to veto a measure adding $35 billion to children's health coverage.

1. Still Ain't Low Enough!

Maybe the S-Chip veto will peel off a few more but if there were any justice he'd be at 2%...just as he is among the African-Americans.

2. Well, congress is at 22%. Looks like people are fed up with both.

With good reason.
