Bush's poll numbers the worse since 45

Poor poll numbers are not new for Mr. Bush, but they continue to reach deeper and deeper into the abyss.

Bush has the lowest approval rating of any president at this point in his second term, according to Gallup polls going back to World War II.

Bush's erosion of support among independents in particular has helped bring his overall approval rating down to 45 percent. Forty-nine percent disapprove of his performance.

The next question, will he continue the push for his unpopular programs, or try to find friendlier issues to focus on. One has to wonder how low can the numbers go.
