How Low Can Bush Go?

George W. Bush has hit a new low in his presidential approval rating. From the American Research Group:

A total of 71% of Americans say they disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president according to the latest survey from the American Research Group.

Among all Americans, 25% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 71% disapprove. When it comes to Bush's handling of the economy, 23% approve and 73% disapprove.

Among Americans registered to vote, 27% approve of the way Bush is handling his job as president and 70% disapprove. When it comes to the way Bush is handling the economy, 23% of registered voters approve of the way Bush is handling the economy and 72% disapprove.

This is the highest level of disapproval and lowest level of approval for the Bush presidency recorded in monthly surveys by the American Research Group....

Overall, 25% of Americans say that they approve of the way George W. Bush is handling his job as president, 71% disapprove, and 4% are undecided.

My question: how low can he go? Has Bush's kisser hit the floor yet? Or is there room for--as he might say--disimprovement? At his worst, Jimmy Carter fell to 22 percent in a Harris Poll, establishing a modern-day record. Can Bush top (or bottom) Carter? How many stick-with-him-no-matter-what GOPers are out there?

If you have any predictions, observations, or wry observations, send them to cornblog@hotmail.com.
