Bush Approval Rating Hits New Low

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse for President Bush:

...Newsweek announced a new poll to be published Monday which places President Bush's approval rating at the lowest it has ever been — 31 percent.

Lame Duck:

Perhaps most grim for the White House, Newsweek also reports that most Americans are writing off the rest of the Bush presidency. The poll shows two-thirds (66 percent) believe Mr. Bush will be unable to get much done, up from 56 percent in a mid-October poll. Only 32 percent believe he can be effective.
