Bush Poll Ratings Before Speech Fall to Nixon's Level (Update2)

By Nadine Elsibai

Jan. 22 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's approval ratings are now the lowest for any president the day before a State of the Union speech since Richard Nixon in 1974, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.

Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said they disapprove of how Bush is handling his job as president while 33 percent approve. The rating matches Bush's career low in a May 2006 poll.

Seventy-one percent of Americans said the country is on the wrong track, up from 46 percent in an April 2003 poll, the month after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. A majority of those polled this month don't approve of how Bush is handling the Iraq war, terrorism or the economy.

Read it and weap. A bad Republican President at a critical time of war. Can't blame it on anybody else yet. The Dems haven't swung into action.

I'm going to give George this last one chance to get it right with 20,000 more of our young people. If he screws that up then he's done. That'll be the people's judgment.

Last chance GWB. Get it right, jerk.
