7/29    CNN/USA Today/Gallup Poll:
        Bush approval ratings hit lowest point of tenure
        http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-07-29-gallup-poll_x.htm
        \_ BUT THE GALLUP POLL IS ALWAYS RIGHT!!!! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!
        \_ Although this is on http://usatoday.com, it's not anywhere on http://CNN.com yet
           ... I guess they'll post it Friday night / Saturday morning ...
           how lucky for Dubya!  (not that he's the type to watch the polls
           anyway -- God Bless!)
        \_ Oh wow, in the span of an hour, http://usatoday.com already moved the
           link from the front page and buried it.  Can you find the link?
           Did some political genius recognize the unfortunate timing of
           "The majority of Americans hate you" and "I'm going around
           the congressional body and appoint Bolton anyway"?
           \_ Erm, it's still on the front page, in the Washington/Politics
              section
              \_ heh, they've been moving it around
                 I just submitted the http://CNN.com link to http://drudgereport.com,
                 wonder how long that'll be
        \_ He's a lame duck President.  Why do you obsess over his poll
           numbers?  He obviously doesn't care or he'd be out in public
           every week stumping for his programs like it was a campaign.
           Find something interesting to obsess about.

com) President Bush's job approval ratings have hi t the lowest point of his tenure and the number of Americans with an unf avorable opinion of him has reached 50% for the first time, according to a Gallup poll released Friday. Forty-four percent of Americans approve of the way Bush is handling his j ob, according to the poll, while 51% disapprove. That is a four-point dr op from Bush's approval rating of July 22-24 and 1% below his previous l ow of 45% in a poll taken June 24-26. Bush's approval ratings have now b een at 50% or lower since mid-March. The poll also puts Bush's unfavorable rating among Americans at the highe st level of his presidency 50%. Forty-eight percent of Americans had a favorable opinion of the president, marking the first time in Bush's te nure that his unfavorable rating is higher than his favorable rating. In contrast, a Gallup poll in late November of 2001, less than three month s after the Sept. Bush's previous low favorable rating came twice in October 2004, when 51% of Americans had a favorable opinion of the president and 46% had an un favorable opinion. The poll also indicated the public had a pessimistic outlook about the ge neral direction of the country and the economy. Forty percent of America ns said they were satisfied with the way things are going in the United States, and 58% said they were dissatisfied. Those numbers are close to the lowest measurements of Bush's presidency in April, when 38% of Ameri cans said they were satisfied with the country's direction and 58% said they were dissatisfied. On the economy, 32% of Americans said conditions were in excellent or goo d shape, with 67% saying they were in fair or poor shape. Fifty-three pe rcent of Americans said the economy was getting worse, while 35% said it was getting better and 9% said it was about the same. The poll was based on telephone interviews with 1,010 adults. It has a ma rgin of error of plus or minus 3 to 5 percentage points, depending on th e question.

The staff is planning to do several stories on this and not just one big article. For days now, the NYT has been chasing down the rumors of what the LA TIMES may be investigating about Carter but didn't have much success. Finally, this afternoon, the NYT made some headway, at least enough to rush out a story.
