The job-approval rating for President Bush has sunk to 45%. This is the worst rating ever for George Bush Junior.

His rating was the highest after 9/11 when his approval rate was 90%.

The Gallup polling organization is conducting polls almost every week, asking people if they "approve or disapprove of the way George W. Bush is handling his job.".

What has brought down Bush's rating? It is believed that it's his intervention to Terri Schiavo case, growing gasoline prices and general economic worries are causing it. Nearly 60% of Americans believe that the economy is worsening.

However, compared to Richard Nixon's rating during the Watergate scandal, Bush's rating is still good. During Watergate, Kennedy had only 24% job-approval rating.
