Nov. 12, 2005 - In the wake of the bombings in Jordan by suspected
followers of Iraq’s Al Qaeda chief Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the indictment of
top White House aide I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby and the withdrawal of
Harriet Miers’s nomination to the Supreme Court, President George W. Bush
is sinking deeper and deeper into political trouble, according to the
latest NEWSWEEK poll. Only 36 percent of Americans approve of the job he
is doing as president

They're oversampling Democrats...as usual:

"When NEWSWEEK asked registered voters whether they planned to vote for a
Democrat or a Republican in those elections, 53 percent said a Democrat and
36 percent said a Republican"


These polls mean nothing as long as they continue to oversample Democrats.



But for the second day in a row, Rasmussen has Bush at 46%:

Sunday November 13, 2005--Forty-six percent (46%) of American adults approve
of the way George W. Bush is performing his role as President. Fifty-three
percent (53%) of Americans Disapprove of the President's performance.
