NEW YORK — More Americans disapprove than approve of how George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and Congress are doing their jobs, while a majority approves of Condoleezza Rice. President Bush’s approval hits a record low of 33 percent this week, clearly damaged by sinking support among Republicans.

Opinions are sharply divided on whether Rumsfeld should resign as secretary of defense. In addition, views on the economy are glum; most Americans rate the current economy negatively, and twice as many say it feels like the economy is getting worse rather than better. These are just some of the findings of the latest FOX News national poll.

President Bush’s job approval rating slipped this week and stands at a new low of 33 percent approve, down from 36 percent two weeks ago and 39 percent in mid-March. A year ago this time, 47 percent approved and two years ago 50 percent approved (April 2004).

P.S. I hate using Fox News as a source.

Hey, you know what, for all of you into popularity contests,

he justs needs to have an afair, and it's all good! right?

actually it's far from just a popularity contest. It affects your ability to be an effective leader, if you don't have anyone approving of your job, try to pass legislation, etc. Just ask Richard Nixon, when he resigned his approval rating was at 24%...well he's dead, but you know what I mean. George Bush Jr. isn't too awful far from that.

Donald Rumsfeld is a complete and total fvcking retard!! He should have been fired along time ago. The politicians need to take a giant step back and let their Military Field Commanders handle this one. Politics is why we had Vietnam and it's HUGE problems. If GW doesn't watch it, history is bound to repeat itself.

I just thought that some of the people on this board needed a reality check. haha, i'm far from a hippie. let me guess though, you're one of those " i support the president, if you don't you're a terrorist" guys right? Well by that, then about 68% of the country is made up of terrorists. You better move to Canada.
