Bush Job Approval Stuck at 43%-Weak Rebound; Effects of Katrina, War
Felt in Numbers; Public Questions Disbursement of Katrina Monies;
Hurricane Rita, War on Terror Bush's Only Strong Suit
-New Zogby America Poll

President Bush's job approval rating has remained in the low 40s despite
a more favorable public rating of his handling of Hurricane Rita than
Hurricane Katrina, the storm that demolished his approval rating nearly
a month ago.

The Zogby America survey of 1004 likely voters, conducted from September
29 through October 2, 2005, has a margin of error of +/-3.2 percentage
points.

The survey finds that, despite a more favorable rating for Hurricane
Rita preparation and leadership, President Bush continues to be viewed
in negative terms for the government's performance during the aftermath
of Hurricane Katrina. It also finds that his signature strong issue,
the War on Terror, has ticked downward slightly, and his handling of the
war is now approved by a minority of voters.

In a sign of ongoing difficulty for the administration, however, fewer
Americans say the nation is heading in the right direction than a month
ago, with just 40% saying the nation is on the right track-versus 54%
who say it is headed in the wrong direction, a number that has ticked
upwards a point since last month's poll.

President Bush's Job Approval Failing to Gain Traction

President Bush's 43% approval rating marks a slight increase from last
month's 41%, but a significant decline from post-re-election numbers
posted as recently as this February.

Just flushing my email before turning in and I came across this in my
spam file:

I don't know why they think I'm a Democrat, but the rest of the
propaganda makes amusing reading:

Dear Chuck,

With George Bush dropping in the polls and Democrats like you ensuring
that the DSCC will have the resources to win the tight races, it's no
wonder that Republicans are having a tough time fielding top-tier
candidates in key states.

And you said you were not a Democrat. The only way to get on the mailing
list is to contribute money.
