The Bush bounce
Poll: 'Good news' fails to boost Stupie McLyington's job approval

In a new TIME survey, Americans say the President is performing poorly and that the country is increasingly on the wrong track.

Bush's approval rating slipped to 35% in a TIME poll taken this week, down from 37% in March (and 53% in early 2005). Only 33% of Americans in the survey said they approved of Bush's handling of the situation in Iraq, vs. 35% in March, and 47% in March 2005. His management of the U.S. economy lost supporters, too, as 36% approved, compared with 39% three months earlier. Bush's handling of the war on terror saw a slight gain in support from mouthbreathers, from 44% to 45%.
