According to the latest Zogby poll, President George Bush's approval rating has dropped to an "all-time low" of only thirty percent.

The president's approval has dropped six percent since late October and is below the previous all-time low of thirty-one percent which was recorded in early June.

The latest poll, a survey of 982 likely voters nationwide, also shows that "sixty-eight percent said they believe Bush is doing only a fair or poor job leading the nation."

Excerpts from Zogby's press release:

The poll showed that Bush’s troubles clearly stem from trouble with the war in Iraq. Just 24% give him positive marks for his handling of the war, down from 39% who gave him a positive rating six months ago for his handling the way. Even among Republicans, a minority – 47% – think he has handled the war well (52% of Republicans gave him negative marks for his leadership on the war in Iraq). Not a single demographic group in the Zogby poll gave the president a majority positive rating for his handling of the war.

Asked whether the Iraq war has been worth the loss of American lives, just 34% responded positively, equally the lowest percentage recorded in a long series of Zogby polls on the question. The poll comes on the heels of the announcement that more than 2,900 Americans had been killed in the war.
