President Bush's overall job approval rating has reached the lowest ever measured in this poll, and evaluations of his handling of Iraq, the economy and even his signature issue, terrorism, are also at all-time lows. More Americans than at any time since he took office think he does not share their priorities.

President Bush's job approval rating has fallen to his lowest rating ever. 37 percent now approve of the job he is doing as president.

President Bush also receives his lowest ratings ever on his handling of the economy and Iraq, with only a third approving of either.

And for the first time in this poll, fewer than half the public approves of the way he is handling the campaign against terrorism. 46 percent now approve, but 46 percent disapprove.
